I'm looking for binary eggs with psycopg2's binaries for Windows but can't find any.
On http://initd.org/psycopg/download/ there's only source package and link to Windows port of Psycopg which provides binary installers but no binary eggs.

The reason I'm looking for binary egg is I'd like to install psycopg in virtualenv and it's not (this answer describes why it usually is possible) possible with standard Windows installers which look for installed Python in the registry.

Side note: I guess psycopg is rather popular library and it strikes me as odd not to provide binary eggs for download on project's page. Am I missing something here?

We just use something like easy_install http://www.stickpeople.com/projects/python/win-psycopg/psycopg2-2.4.win32-pyx.x-pg9.0.3-release.exe from within the virtual environment.

Seems to work; we end up with psycopg2 in the virtual environment and not in the base environment, which I take to be the endgame here.

UPD: List of available realeases available on stickpeople.com site
