``entry_points``
A dictionary mapping entry point group names to strings or lists of strings
defining the entry points. (Typically, the defining string would be the name of the module, a colon, and the name of the code, such as "mypackage.subpackage.module:func") Entry points are used to support dynamic
defining the entry points. Entry points are used to support dynamic
discovery of services or plugins provided by a project. See `Dynamic
Discovery of Services and Plugins`_ for details and examples of the format
of this argument. In addition, this keyword is used to support `Automatic
inform the user of the missing program(s).
A Note Regarding Dependencies
-----------------------------
If the project *containing* your distutils/setuptools extension(s) depends on
any projects other than setuptools, you *must* also declare those dependencies
as part of your project's ``setup_requires`` keyword, so that they will
already be built (and at least temprorarily installed) before your extension
project is built.
So, if for example you create a project Foo that includes a new file finder
plugin, and Foo depends on Bar, then you *must* list Bar in both the
``install_requires`` **and** ``setup_requires`` arguments to ``setup()``.
If you don't do this, then in certain edge cases you may cause setuptools to
try to go into infinite recursion, trying to build your dependencies to resolve
your dependencies, while still building your dependencies. (It probably won't
happen on your development machine, but it *will* happen in a full build
pulling everything from revision control on a clean machine, and then you or
your users will be scratching their heads trying to figure it out!)
