Incorrect sys.argv[0] for generated console scripts on Windows #459
Description
Originally reported by: pombredanne (Bitbucket: pombredanne, GitHub: pombredanne)
The code that generates entry point console script return an incorrect value for sys.argv[0] on windows:
https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/src/4ce518784af886e6977fa2dbe58359d0fe161d0d/setuptools/command/easy_install.py?at=default&fileviewer=file-view-default#easy_install.py-2008
Even if the script was called from the CLI as XXXX, sys.argv[0] will be XXXX-script.py
It should instead by XXXX.
pip handles this by fixing sys.argv[0] in the generated launcher script for wheels here https://github.com/pypa/pip/blob/1da0ea13f3f0ab789edd62012d09bf69be045f68/pip/wheel.py#L416
distlib fixes sys.argv[0] here in a similar way in the launcher script :

Setuptools does not and it should IMHO.
