What code in Python creates .exe launchers for 'entry_points' in 'setup.py'?
Hello. On Windows, 'setuptools' and 'distribute' package systems allows to add 'entry_points' definition into 'setup.py' python distribution script. For each entry in this definition, some kind of bootstrapper '.exe' file will be created and placed into 'Scripts' python dir. For example, if i install 'pip' via 'setup.py', a file named 'pip.exe' will be created and placed into 'C:\Python27\Scripts'. But what python code is responsible for creation of this bootstrapper executables? I have searched python 2.7.3 source code for some time, but can't find a place. Of course i can spend lots of time to debug 'setup.py' installation (really lots of source code), but maybe someone just knows the place and can pinpoint it?

Setuptools is not in the standard library, so you would need to search the setuptools or distribute codebases. Regards
The new "distlib" also provides that feature
