</div>'packaging' will be powerful enough to copy entry_points.txt into the<br>
.dist-info directory as a resource. Python bug #11880.<br>
<br>
The existing entry points code has a plugin mechanism for itself that<br>
will make it easy to iterate over entry_points.txt in dist-info as<br>
well as egg-info directories. Just write that plugin and you should be<br>
good to go. Though you might have to install the plugin in an egg-info<br>
directory at first...<br></blockquote><div><br>What plugin mechanism are you talking about here, specifically?<br><br>For that matter, which "existing entry points code" are you talking about, too? ;-)<br></div>
