whl package does not include an executable

The whl package does only include side packages and no executable.

Step to reproduce:

• build whl package
• install whl package

  python -m build --wheel --no-isolation
  python -m installer --destdir=test dist/*.whl

I am not sure what you are missing. syncmymoodle like most python packages does not have a binary executable and in the shown directory structure every file required to run smm seems to be present.

I have execute the install command listed above. But the executable is missing. Sadly I am not familiar enough with python, to be able to say, why this happen. I have try to follow the arch package guidelines for pythons wheel format, witch is used by this project. see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Python_package_guidelines#Standards_based_(PEP_517)

I was able to workaround this issues by installing manual the __main__.py and ignore the package system of python. see https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=sync-my-moodle-git#n28. But this avoid that pycache can be used.

Ah yes to packaging tools this is just a library and has no entrypoints. On the v2 Branch I have declared a proper entrypoint though I have not touched that branch in months sadly.

However with your current setup you should still be able to call it like python3 -m syncmymoodle.
