title: Why does my python egg not work? - No distributions at all found for
body: <p>I have made a distribution of my python package with the following setup.py</p>
  
  <pre><code>#!/usr/bin/env python
  
  from setuptools import setup
  
  setup(name='mypackagename',
        version='0.1',
        description='Tool ....',
        author='Peter Smit',
        author_email='lala@lala.com',
        packages=['mypackagename'],
        package_dir={'': 'src'},
        install_requires=['boto'],
        entry_points = dict(console_scripts=[
          'mypackagenamescript = mypackagename.launcher:run',
          ])
        )
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I created an egg of this with <code>python setup.py bdist_egg</code>. </p>
  
  <p>Trying to install it now with pip gives the following error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>bin/pip install mypackagename-0.1-py2.6.egg 
  Downloading/unpacking mypackagename-0.1-py2.6.egg
    Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement mypackagename-0.1-    py2.6.egg
  No distributions at all found for mypackagename-0.1-py2.6.egg
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Storing complete log in /home/peter/.pip/pip.log</p>
  
  <p>The mentioned log files showed that it tries to download the package from pypi, where it obviously does not exist.</p>
  
  <p>What did I do wrong? How can I install this egg of mine plus it's dependencies?</p>
