I think you are right: the problem is likely with the
"entry_points" specification.


My "dm.zopepatches.ztest" package has
      entry_points = dict(
         console_scripts = [
           'ztest = dm.zopepatches.ztest:main',
           ]
        ),
This is responsible for the creation of a script called
"ztest" in Python's "bin" directory.


Does your "entry_points" specification look similar?
Do you find corresponding scripts in Python's "bin" directory?
