Ran into a problem with setuptools 0.6a5 on Windows where a console_script is named the same as a top-level package.
This problem doesn't occur on Linux, presumably because the installed script does not have a .py extension to confuse the import of a same-named package.
Excerpt from setup.py:
entry_points = { 'console_scripts': ['schevo = schevo.script.main:start'], }
Traceback on Windows when running the installed schevo.exe:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "c:\python24\scripts\schevo.py", line 7, in ? sys.exit( File "c:\python24\lib\site-packages\setuptools- 0.6a5-py2.4.egg\pkg_resources.p y", line 236, in load_entry_point return get_distribution(dist).load_entry_point(group, name) File "c:\python24\lib\site-packages\setuptools- 0.6a5-py2.4.egg\pkg_resources.p y", line 1892, in load_entry_point return ep.load() File "c:\python24\lib\site-packages\setuptools- 0.6a5-py2.4.egg\pkg_resources.p y", line 1625, in load entry = __import__(self.module_name, globals(),globals(), ['__name__']) File "c:\python24\scripts\schevo.py", line 7, in ? sys.exit( File "c:\python24\lib\site-packages\setuptools- 0.6a5-py2.4.egg\pkg_resources.p y", line 236, in load_entry_point return get_distribution(dist).load_entry_point(group, name) File "c:\python24\lib\site-packages\setuptools- 0.6a5-py2.4.egg\pkg_resources.p y", line 1892, in load_entry_point return ep.load() File "c:\python24\lib\site-packages\setuptools- 0.6a5-py2.4.egg\pkg_resources.p y", line 1625, in load entry = __import__(self.module_name, globals(),globals(), ['__name__']) ImportError: No module named script.main
