How to setup entry_points in setup.cfg
The section must be [options.entry_points]. See an example at https://github.com/github/octodns/blob/4b44ab14b1f0a52f1051c67656d6e3dd6f0ba903/setup.cfg#L34
[options.entry_points]console_scripts = octodns-compare = octodns.cmds.compare:main octodns-dump = octodns.cmds.dump:main octodns-report = octodns.cmds.report:main octodns-sync = octodns.cmds.sync:main octodns-validate = octodns.cmds.validate:main
With python 3.6 and setuptools 39.0.1, i had like you to move entry points from .py to .cfg.
My setup.py, focused on the entry points declaration:
from setuptools import setupsetup( entry_points={ 'pytest11': [ 'mytest = mytest.plugin', ], },)I ended up with this working setup.cfg:
... # other standard declarations[options.entry_points]pytest11 = mytest = mytest.plugin
