Console Script Setup¶

Optionally, your package can include a console script using Click or argparse (Python 3.2+).

Usage¶

To use the console script in development:

pip install -e projectdir

‘projectdir’ should be the top level project directory with the setup.py file

The script will be generated with output for no arguments and –help.

Using Click, installing the project in a development environment using:

python setup.py develop

will not set up the entry point correctly. This is a known issue with Click. The following will work as expected:

python setup.py install
pip install mypackage

With ‘mypackage’ adjusted to the specific project.
