How can I use setuptools to generate a console_scripts entry point which calls `python -m mypackage`?
How can I use entry_points to generate a binary that calls python -m mypackage (and passes *args, **kwargs) ?
I think this is the wrong way to look at the problem. You don't want your script to call python -m mypackage, but you want the script to have the same entry point as python -m mypackage
Consider this simple example:
script_proj/├── script_proj│ ├── __init__.py│ └── __main__.py└── setup.pyand the minimalistic setup.py:
from setuptools import setupsetup( name="script_proj", packages=["script_proj"], entry_points = { "console_scripts": [ "myscript = script_proj.__main__:main", ] })__main__.py is a dummy module and contains the main method.
def main(): print("Hello world!")if __name__ == "__main__": main()After installing, you have the executable myscript, which calls the main method in __main__.py.In this package design python -m script_proj also calls the same main method.
