Python Entry point 'console_scripts' not found

Question

I'm unable to import entry point console scripts in my python package. Looking for help debugging my current issue, as I have read every relevant post on the issue.

Here is what my directory structure looks like:

├── ContentAnalysis
│   ├── __init__.py
│   ├── command_line.py
│   ├── document.py
│   ├── entities.py
│   ├── sentiment.py
│   ├── summary.py
│   ├── text_tokenize.py
│   ├── tokens.py
├── local-requirements.txt
├── requirements.txt
├── server-requirements.txt
├── setup.py
└── tests
    ├── tests.py
    └── tests.pyc

Here is what my setup.py looks like

from setuptools import setup

config = {
    'description': 'Tools to extract information from web links',
    'author': 'sample',
    'version': '0.1',
    'install_requires': ['nose'],
    'packages': ['ContentAnalysis'],
    'entry_points': {
        'console_scripts': ['content_analysis=ContentAnalysis.command_line:main'],
    },
    'name':'ContentAnalysis',
    'include_package_data':True
}

setup(**config)

I've installed the package and verified that content_analysis is reachable from the command line. I've also verified that my ContentAnalysis package is importable from the python interpreter from any cd in the computer. Yet I still get an "Entry point not found error on execution"

grant@DevBox2:/opt/content-analysis$ content_analysis -l 'http://101beauty.org/how-to-use-baking-soda-to-reduce-dark-circles-and-bags-under-the-eyes/'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/opt/anaconda2/bin/content_analysis", line 11, in <module>
    load_entry_point('ContentAnalysis==0.1', 'console_scripts', 'content_analysis')()
  File "/opt/anaconda2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/setuptools-26.1.1-py2.7.egg/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 565, in load_entry_point
  File "/opt/anaconda2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/setuptools-26.1.1-py2.7.egg/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 2588, in load_entry_point
ImportError: Entry point ('console_scripts', 'content_analysis') not found

Any help or tips towards debugging this is appreciated

Edit #1:

Attempting to debug the issue, I noticed the command_line is not reachable as a submodule within ContentAnalysis

>>> import ContentAnalysis
>>> ContentAnalysis.tokens
<module 'ContentAnalysis.tokens' from '/opt/anaconda2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ContentAnalysis/tokens.pyc'>
>>> ContentAnalysis.command_line
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'command_line'
>>> 

It appears that command_line is not being added to the relevant site_packages folder.

grant@DevBox2:/opt/anaconda2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ContentAnalysis$ ls
data          entities.py   __init__.pyc   summary.py        text_tokenize.pyc
document.py   entities.pyc  sentiment.py   summary.pyc       tokens.py
document.pyc  __init__.py   sentiment.pyc  text_tokenize.py  tokens.pyc

I wonder why?

Answer 1

Investigation of the relevant site-packages folder clued me that my python setup.py install command was not putting all the relevant files where they needed to be.

I'm still not 100% of the underlying cause of the issue, but I was only able to get my site-packages folder to truly update by passing setup.py the --force argument as in

python setup.py install --force

Now my site-packages folder contains the relevant command_line.py, and the console entry point works as expected.
