Note that the problem does *not* occur when running the same statement
at an interactive Python prompt:
=====
$ python2
Python 2.7.12+ (default, Aug 4 2016, 20:04:34)
[GCC 6.1.1 20160724] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from pkg_resources import load_entry_point
>>>
=====
This behaviour is only when the generated script is run:
=====
$ dpkg-query --show python-pkg-resources
python-pkg-resources 20.7.0-1
$ head -n 7 /usr/bin/dput
#!/usr/bin/python
# EASY-INSTALL-ENTRY-SCRIPT: 'dput==0.10.3','console_scripts','execute-dput'
__requires__ = 'dput==0.10.3'
import re
import sys
from pkg_resources import load_entry_point
$ /usr/bin/dput
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/dput", line 6, in <module>
from pkg_resources import load_entry_point
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 2927,
in <module>
@_call_aside
[…]
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 829,
in resolve
raise DistributionNotFound(req, requirers)
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'setuptools' distribution was not found
and is required by dput
=====
So a statement that works in a fresh Python interpreter, fails when
the same statement is executed by the same interpreter, early in the
command-line script.
