Точки входа перечислены в entry_points.txt файлах для каждого из пакетов. Например:
$ find /path/to/envs/py38/lib/python3.8/ -name "entry_points.txt"
/path/to/envs/py38/lib/python3.8/site-packages/mypy-0.761.dist-info/entry_points.txt
/path/to/envs/py38/lib/python3.8/site-packages/Pygments-2.5.2.dist-info/entry_points.txt
/path/to/envs/py38/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pip-20.0.2-py3.8.egg-info/entry_points.txt
/path/to/envs/py38/lib/python3.8/site-packages/setuptools-45.2.0.post20200210-py3.8.egg-info/entry_points.txt
/path/to/envs/py38/lib/python3.8/site-packages/ipython-7.12.0.dist-info/entry_points.txt
/path/to/envs/py38/lib/python3.8/site-packages/wheel-0.34.2-py3.8.egg-info/entry_points.txt
Как мы видим, distutils не рекламирует свои собственные точки входа, на самом деле это setuptools:
$ cat /path/to/envs/py38/lib/python3.8/site-packages/setuptools-45.2.0.post20200210-py3.8.egg-info/entry_points.txt

Обнаружение всех точек входа
Начиная с Python 3.8, вы можете использовать importlib.metadata.entry_points для перечисления точек входа всех установленных пакетов:
>>> from importlib.metadata import entry_points
>>> from pprint import pprint
>>> pprint(entry_points())
