Hi all,

I'm trying to specify an extra for an entry point, as follows:

   setup(
     ...
     extras_require = {
         'DNS': ['dnspython>=1.3.5']
     },
     entry_points = {
         'trac.plugins': [
             'spamfilter = tracspamfilter.api',
             'spamfilter.adapters = tracspamfilter.adapters',
             'spamfilter.filters.akismet =  
tracspamfilter.filters.akismet',
             'spamfilter.filters.ip_blacklist =  
tracspamfilter.filters.ip_blacklist [DNS]'
         ]
     },
     ...
   )

egg_info then fails with the message:

   ValueError: ('Invalid module name',  
'tracspamfilter.filters.ip_blacklist ')

Obviously the space between the module and the extras spec is messing  
up the parsing somehow, so I remove the space. Now, this works *only  
the first time* (i.e. before the entry_points.txt file) gets written  
out. Apparently setuptools also puts a space between the module name  
and the extras :-P

Using setuptools 0.6a10... couldn't find anything related in the  
check-in messages.

Am I missing something obvious here? Or isn't anyone actually using  
that particular feature yet?

Anyway, replacing "value.lstrip()" with "value.strip()" in  
EntryPoint.parse() appears to fix this.

Cheers,
Chris
