Ok, I give up. I'm using setuptools==0.5a13 and have the following problem. I'm trying (under Ubuntu Linux) to have my easy_install.py install a script to run my utility. However, it's unable to find the utility and I don't know why. The latest incarnation I changed the name of the script to runWx. Here's what happends when I run it: <distutils-sig@python.org> $ runWx Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/runWx", line 4, in ? pkg_resources.run_script('wxOptParse==0.1.2', 'runWx') File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/setuptools-0.5a13-py2.4.egg/pkg_resources.py", line 111, in run_script require(dist_spec)[0].metadata.run_script(script_name, ns) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/setuptools-0.5a13-py2.4.egg/pkg_resources.py", line 627, in run_script raise ResolutionError("No script named %r" % script_name) pkg_resources.ResolutionError: No script named 'runWx' it can't find runWx, ok, why not? here's the egg list: $ unzip -l dist/wxOptParse-0.1.2-py2.4.egg Archive: dist/wxOptParse-0.1.2-py2.4.egg Length Date Time Name -------- ---- ---- ---- 21025 09-08-05 12:54 wxoptparse/__init__.py 20091 09-08-05 22:26 wxoptparse/__init__.pyc 1315 09-08-05 22:26 EGG-INFO/PKG-INFO 11 09-08-05 22:26 EGG-INFO/top_level.txt 0 09-08-05 22:26 EGG-INFO/zip-safe 63 09-08-05 22:15 EGG-INFO/scripts/runWx -------- ------- 42505 6 files Here's the contents of /usr/bin/wxRun which appears to have been created: $ cat /usr/bin/runWx #!/usr/bin/python # EASY-INSTALL-SCRIPT: 'wxOptParse==0.1.2','runWx' import pkg_resources pkg_resources.run_script('wxOptParse==0.1.2', 'runWx') Contents of my original runWx #!python import wxoptparse wxoptparse.handleCommandLine() My setup.py file: from ez_setup import use_setuptools use_setuptools() from setuptools import setup, find_packages # Notes to self: # python setup.py sdist --formats=zip # To create the zip file # python setup.py --command-packages=setuptools.command bdist_egg # To create the egg file # python setup.py register # to register with PyPI # setup(name="wxOptParse", version="0.1.2", description="wxOptParse: run the command line options from a dialog box.", long_description="""\ wxOptParse is a Python program that brings up a graphical representation of the options that another python program has for the command line, via the optparse module. What this means is that if if you have a program that uses optparse you can click on checkboxes, edit boxes, combo boxes, etc. instead of using the command line.
