[Distutils] "ImportError: No module named mkdocs" but I can import it

[edbrannin at gmail.com]

Hello,

I'm trying to switch an opensource project from setup(scripts=) to
setup(entry_points=dict(console_scripts=)) to enable Windows support for
its executable script.

If you are feeling generous, you can download my changes and attempt to run
them from this branch:
https://github.com/edbrannin/mkdocs/tree/windows-runnable
Zip version:
https://github.com/edbrannin/mkdocs/archive/windows-runnable.zip

When I run "python setup.py install", it installs the mkdocs module to
lib/site-packages/mkdocs and I can import it from a Python shell, but when
I run the "mkdocs" command I get this error:

C:\>mkdocs Traceback (most recent call last): File
"C:\Python27\Scripts\mkdocs-script.py", line 9, in <module>
load_entry_point('mkdocs==0.9', 'console_scripts', 'mkdocs')() File
"C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\distribute-0.6.34-py2.7.egg\pkg_resources.py",
line 343, in load_entry_point return
get_distribution(dist).load_entry_point(group, name) File

line 2307, in load_entry_point return ep.load() File

line 2013, in load entry = __import__(self.module_name,
globals(),globals(), ['__name__']) ImportError: No module named mkdocs

What am I doing wrong here?

P.S. For the archives, the exact code revision I'm having trouble with is

P.P.S. I had tried to send this earlier, before I'd subscribed to the list.
 Sorry if both copies of this email eventually get delivered.
