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):
