'packaging' will be powerful enough to copy entry_points.txt into the .dist-info directory as a resource. Python bug #11880. The existing entry points code has a plugin mechanism for itself that will make it easy to iterate over entry_points.txt in dist-info as well as egg-info directories. Just write that plugin and you should be good to go. Though you might have to install the plugin in an egg-info directory at first... _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
