`uvx gimme-aws-creds` fails on Windows #6661

Open knowsuchagency opened 2 months ago

knowsuchagency commented 2 months ago

uvx seems to correctly identify the gimme-aws-creds executable but cannot invoke it.

This is with version 0.3.4, specifically on Windows

PS C:\Users\FOO> uvx gimme-aws-creds
Installed 45 packages in 2.42s
The executable `gimme-aws-creds` was not found.

Interesting, thanks for the report! Seems like a classic weird Windows thing.

Hmmm, they don't define console_scripts entrypoints, just a script section which points to other scripts.

From https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/guides/distributing-packages-using-setuptools/#scripts

Although setup() supports a scripts keyword for pointing to pre-made scripts to install, the recommended approach to achieve cross-platform compatibility is to use Creating executable scripts entry points

Seems like using scripts doesn't work well from a cross-platform perspective, especially on Windows.

Ah interesting. Thanks for the context. Does this work with pipx?

knowsuchagency commented 2 months ago

It works on Mac, but not Windows. That's actually true for both pipx and uvx
