Description
When managing dependencies, the ability to call egg_info on any package is especially useful (even if the package is not valid for installation with a specific python version).
For example, pipenv can't build a lockfile in python2 if avro-python3 is listed as a dependency (for any python version)
The opposite works (using python3 to check the egg_info of avro (the python2 version).
$ python3 avro/setup.py egg_info (succeeds) $ python2 avro/setup.py egg_info (succeeds) $ python3 avro-python3/setup.py egg_info (succeeds) $ python2 avro-python3/setup.py egg_info (fails)
It would be great if you didn't raise an assertion error for all usages of running setup.py, especially when running egg_info.
