If I create console_scripts via entry_point in setup.py, then this file gets created:

#!/home/myproject_cok_d/bin/python
# EASY-INSTALL-ENTRY-SCRIPT: 'mylib','console_scripts','do-magic'
__requires__ = 'mylib'
import re
import sys
from pkg_resources import load_entry_point

if __name__ == '__main__':
 sys.argv[0] = re.sub(r'(-script.pyw?|.exe)?$', '', sys.argv[0])
 sys.exit(
 load_entry_point('mylib', 'console_scripts', 'do-magic')()
 )

Unfortunately this script is fragile.

Sometimes I get exceptions like this:

Traceback (most recent call last):

 raise DistributionNotFound(req, requirers)
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'PyPDF2==1.26' distribution was not found and is required by mylib

Is there a way to make my script (do-magic) more mature?

In this case: It does not need PyPDF2.
