Hi, sorry if this email arrives twice. Now I'm registered to this list, so I can check that the email is delivered. :)

I've a question on setuptools egg creation. I've a directory structure like this:

python_libs/ |---- setup_foo | |---- setup.py |---- src | |---- foo | | |---- __init__.py | | |---- foo_module.py | |---- bar | | |---- __init__.py | | |---- bar_module.py | |---- common | | |---- __init__.py | | |---- common_module.py

Basically I have a src directory containing three packages (foo, bar and common), and I have a setup_foo directory OUTSIDE src, where I want to build an egg containing foo and common packages, and NOT bar package.

In the setup_foo/setup.py script I have something like this:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*- from setuptools import setup, find_packages

src_dir = "../src"

setup(name='foo', version='0.1', description="foo and common packages", packages=find_packages(src_dir, exclude=['bar', 'bar.*']), package_dir={'': src_dir}, zip_safe=False, install_requires=[ 'PasteDeploy', ], entry_points=""" [paste.app_factory] foo_app = foo.foo_module:app_factory common_app = common.common_module:app_factory """, )

You can see that I have two entry points (in this case for use with PasteDeploy in a wsgi project).

If I build an egg with that file:

$ cd setup_foo/ $ python setup.py bdist_egg

I can find a foo.egg-info directory under src which contains all metadata:

$ ls src/foo.egg-info/ dependency_links.txt entry_points.txt not-zip-safe PKG-INFO requires.txt SOURCES.txt top_level.txt

But in the egg created under setup_foo/dist I don't have those metadata:

$ cd setup_foo/dist/ $ unzip foo-0.1-py2.6.egg $ ls EGG-INFO/ not-zip-safe SOURCES.txt

And of course, after installing that egg with easy_install, PasteDeploy can't find the entry points.

Is this a setuptools bug or I'm doing something wrong? I use setuptools 0.6.10 distributed in Ubuntu Lucid.

Thank you in advance for your help, and excuse me for the lenghty email!
