How to package a command line Python script
command-line, packaging, python
Solution
@Zach, given your clarification in your comment to @soulmerge's answer, it looks like what you need is to write a setup.py as per the instructions regarding the distutils -- here in particular is how you register on pypi, and here on how to upload to pypi once you are registrered -- and possibly (if you need some extra functionality wrt what the distutils supply on their own) add setuptools, of which `easy_install` is part, via the instructions here.
Problem
I've created a python script that's intended to be used from the command line. How do I go about packaging it? This is my first python package and I've read a bit about setuptools, but I'm still not sure the best way to do this. Solution I ended up using setup.py with the key configurations noted below: ``` setup( .... entry_points=""" [console_scripts] mycommand = mypackage.mymodule:main """, .... ) ``` Here's a good example in context.
