[Python] Setuptools console_script entry point not found with install but it's found with...

My package has a entry point defined in it's setup.py:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from setuptools import setup

setup(
name='fbuildbot',
version='0.1',
...
entry_points={
'console_scripts': [
'create = create:main',
],
},
install_requires=[
"cookiecutter",
],
)


Thing is, If I do python setup.py develop, I can run the command just fine, but if I do install it with python setup.py install the install procedure runs correctly but the console script fails with ImportError:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/matias/.venvs/fbuild/bin/create", line 8, in <module>
load_entry_point('fbuildbot==0.1', 'console_scripts', 'create')()
File "/home/matias/.venvs/fbuild/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c11-py2.7.egg/pkg_resources.py", line 318, in load_entry_point

ImportError: No module named create


Clearly it's failing to setup the package correctly on the pythonpath. I thought it was because I have the script barely at the top level. So I tried adding wrapping it all in a package, moving all important parts to a inner module and changing the setup.py accordingly:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from setuptools import setup

setup(
name='fbuildbot',
version='0.1',
description="Buildbot configuration generator for fbuild",
...
packages=['fbuildbot', ],
entry_points={
'console_scripts': [
'create = fbuildbot.create:main',
],
},
install_requires=[
"cookiecutter",
],
)


But it fails with the same message (with updated path, obviously).

Clearly I'm doing something wrong here. What could it be?
