Add ".py" suffix to html2text entrypoint #79

Closed saschpe closed 7 years ago

saschpe commented 10 years ago

Many distributions (including Gentoo and openSUSE) already ship /usr/bin/html2text as part of the "html2text" package. Therefore the current entry point collides with this system binary. Adding a .py prefix would mean it's installed as /usr/bin/html2text.py which is just working fine.

Fixes #42

Yes, resolving the conflict would be appreciated. In the Fedora package, the file has been renamed, too:

$ rpm -qf /usr/bin/python-html2text python-html2text-3.200.3-5.fc20.noarch

I think it is better to leave this chore on the package maintainers. The name of the package is so entrenched, that I don't think changing it would help anything.
