Chaps,

any ideas, I'm floundering - I don't quite get it.  I have the following
files, setup.py and main.py in a directory pphoto:

# more setup.py
from setuptools import setup, find_packages
setup(
     name = "Pphoto",
     version = "0.1",
     packages = find_packages(),

     # other arguments here...
     entry_points = {'console_scripts': ['foo = pphoto.main:HelloWorld',]}


)

bash-3.1# more main.py


def HelloWorld():
     print "Hello World!"

print "Odd world"


From various websites that should produce a script foo that runs HelloWorld.
It does produce a script that simply crashes.

bash-3.1# foo
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/bin/foo", line 8, in<module>
     load_entry_point('Pphoto==0.1', 'console_scripts', 'foo')()
   File "build/bdist.linux-i686/egg/pkg_resources.py", line 277, in
load_entry_point
   File "build/bdist.linux-i686/egg/pkg_resources.py", line 2098, in
load_entry_point
   File "build/bdist.linux-i686/egg/pkg_resources.py", line 1831, in load
ImportError: No module named pphoto.main
bash-3.1#


Note, doing this as root as it seems not to do anything usefull at all if I
run python setup develop as a user.

Any ideas?  I must be missing something fundamental?

You need to put main.py into the pphoto package.

$ mkdir pphoto/
$ mv main.py pphoto/
$ touch pphoto/__init__.py
