As I suspected, there are no entry points... These are usually in a (generated)
file called "entry_points.txt", inside a "dist-info" or ".egg/EGG-INFO" directory
(depending on versions and installation methods).
These are usually created by setup.py/pip, etc. You should double check if
you're also copying all of those generated files to the "kindle" system.
But, this is just a guess, I have never installed on one system and attempted
to run on another one.
Regards,
- Cleber.
