I am trying to get a python app running on Microsoft IIS, after using iwhelper to get the app "inited", I come across the following error. I tested on my development environment (manually ran python app.py) and everything works just fine, so I'm really confused).
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\dev\app\app_server.py", line 16, in
require("bottle_cork==0.11.1")
File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\pkg_resources\__init__.py", line 921, in require
needed = self.resolve(parse_requirements(requirements))
File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\pkg_resources\__init__.py", line 808, in resolve
raise DistributionNotFound(req)
DistributionNotFound: bottle-cork==0.11.1
However, I have the module bottle-cork with version "0.11.1" installed, as is seen here

I have no idea of what's going on, could someone please help me to take a look?
Turns out IIS is not that friendly with Python app. And a bunch other posts on how to run Django/Flask app on Windows Server using IIS all failed in my case. So I ended up making my python app a service using the Non-sucking Service Manager (NSSM). And used cherrypy as a server to bootstrap and run my application.
For those of you who couldn't get python apps to run on Windows, consider this combination -- cherrypy + NSSM.
