Setuptools (which Distribute is based on) is designed for shipping libraries, not applications; it's developer installer, not primarily an end-user installer for applications. So you probably should be using py2exe instead. Alternatively, you can bundle a copy of pkg_resources.py, or use a script that doesn't depend on entry points, or copy your script to "foo-script.py" alongside the .exe launcher, and manually include those two files as scripts (not using entry points) in your setup() definition. Any of these approaches will solve the problem; it's mostly a matter of your preferences or other requirements. _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
