Your custom writer has to be on sys.path in order to work, but your package_dir isn't on sys.path. You'll have to either install the writer as a separate egg and use setup_requires to ensure it gets on the path, or else move your package_dir to the setup.py directory. The general intention of the design, however, was for egg_info writers to live in a different egg than the one being built, and to be activated using setup_requires. Still, you *can* make it work, it's just that you'll have to run the egg_info command (or a command that runs egg_info) more than once in order to get your custom metadata written, because the first time the egg_info is written, your entry points won't be on disk yet. The second time, it will. _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
