pkg_resources scripts confirm the version.  don't see that here?  not necessary?

The load_entry_point needs the dist name because of how it's implemented - it defers to the distribution instance. AFAICT there are no actual checks. def load_entry_point(dist, group, name): """Return `name` entry point of `group` for `dist` or raise ImportError""" return get_distribution(dist).load_entry_point(group, name) Regards, Vinay Sajip
