  yes.

  thank you,

  yes, it is there:


=====
(env) me at ant(9)~/src/env/bin$ more ngfp 
#!/home/me/src/env/bin/python3
# EASY-INSTALL-ENTRY-SCRIPT: 'ngfp','console_scripts','ngfp'
__requires__ = 'ngfp'
import re
import sys
from pkg_resources import load_entry_point

if __name__ == '__main__':
    sys.argv[0] = re.sub(r'(-script\.pyw?|\.exe)?$', '', sys.argv[0])
    sys.exit(
        load_entry_point('ngfp', 'console_scripts', 'ngfp')()
    )

(env) me at ant(11)~/src/test$ ngfp
Traceback (most recent call last):

  so, actually, the problem isn't what i expected it to be.
