Here your problem is that entry points should have only one : in them. You
want

proj.scriptA:main

(This means: do 'import proj.scriptA', then call 'proj.scriptA.main'. You
can have as many dots as you want on either side of the :, and the colon
marks how much of your dotted string gets passed to 'import'.)
