Hello,

While working with setuptools [Automatic Script Creation with setuptools]
module to build python package naming with "build" as prefix for package
name, i found wired issue with setup.py. My setup.py code looks like below.

from setuptools import setup, find_packages

setup(
    name=*'build_tools'*,
    version='0.1.0',
    packages = find_packages(),
    entry_points = {
          'console_scripts': [
              'test_build = test_build:main',
               ],
        },
)

F:\mywork\*build_tools*>Scripts\python.exe setup.py install -vvv  [this is
how i executed the setup.py from virtual python]

After running the above installer, as per my understanding after the
successful installation of this package the console entry_points should go
in to the "Scripts" directory.
The above said scenario is working fine with Linux machine when i tried the
same usecase in windows machine, it is not working as expected.
Entry point console script is not listing/showing under "Scripts" directory.

Please any one suggest fix or explain me the problem.

Thanks,
Praveen Doddamani.
