Package: python-empy
Version: 3.3-6
Severity: normal

When working with some external software, I came across a problem
where the distutils / distribute infastructure would not notice
python-empy was installed (`pip freeze` did not list it).  This would
prevent me from running the other program with an error

pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: empy

even though the python-empy package was installed and could work.

After downloading and rebuilding python-empy with modern debian build
tools, this problem went away.

Package list before:

/usr/share/python-support/python-empy/em.py


Package list after `apt-get source python-empy; cd empy-3.3; dpkg-buildpackage 
-us -uc -rfakeroot; sudo dpkg -i ../python-empy_3.3-6_all.deb`:
/.

/usr/share/man/man1/empy.1.gz
/usr/share/python-support
/usr/share/python-support/python-empy.public
/usr/bin
/usr/bin/empy

and afterwards, empy shows up on `pip freeze` and is recognized.

Maybe a Debian version bump for a rebuild is in order?
