Probably this is because the package isn't activated, and if it's not activated you can't see its entry point. When a .pth file is on PYTHONPATH, Python won't load it up (it only loads .pth files in some specific locations). So while easy-install.pth would normally activate a package (by adding it to sys.path), with PYTHONPATH that doesn't work. I think the site.py that Setuptools will sometimes create is intended to address this, but it might not always work. Or there might be some entirely different problem I'm unaware of. -- Ian Bicking | http://blog.ianbicking.org
