Ok after som change (not sure what) I can actually import "lib" now from 
ipython or from a script.
But importing it from the script which was built in the egg which 
actually has "lib" in install_requires
still doesn't work...

How can it be?
It doesn't add any pkg_resources trick to find the additional library, 
and in plus forcing the require doesn't work either..
