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.
- --help
show help menu and exit
Known Issues¶
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.
