[Distutils] console_script does not install scripts in some packages?

[Václav Šmilauer]

Hi everybody,

I posted this question at 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13271085/console-scripts-entry-point-ignored 
without getting response, so I turn to the ML.

I am using setuptools 0.6c11 under Windows (64bit, mingw64).

I have a trouble with setup.py - I use 
entry_points={'console_scripts':['woo = wooMain.main']}, which works 
fine under Linux, but creates no scripts at all under Windows (64bit, 
using mingw64). Curiously, some other packages, which also use 
console_scripts (ipython, for instance), do get their .exe's created 
just fine.

The relevant part of setup.py is below.  I attach "setup.py install" 
log, in case it is informative. Curiously, it says "writing entry points 
to core/main\woo.egg-info\entry_points.txt", but this file does not even 
get installed with the egg.

Coud you suggest a way to debug that (such as running setup.py more 
verbose)? Or suggest a package with very simple setup.py which also uses 
console_scripts and actually works --

Cheers, Vaclav
