Installing bin exec in a specific dir

[GTrunSec]

I think we should add a flexible path flag for different purposes.

Example:

cliche install --dir <path> <CommandName>

Added it! Thanks for the suggestion.

Also be aware since recently it became possible to add a line to setup.py to allow installing and uninstalling packages and including a command based on cliche

setup.py:

setup(
    name="my_module",
    entry_points={"console_scripts": ["my_command = cliche:runner"]},
    ....
)

where my_command will be the executable name

Thanks for your modify. May you add a flag for executable dir instead of wrapping the command exec in Cliche's PythonPackage dir?

As a nix user, if we have dynamic flags for module_dir and bin_dir, that are helpful to create a sandbox environment for each command in different module_dirs.

I do wonder though how console_entry are installed then using pip? I'd like to ensure that it will work out of the box like that (i.e. I prefer to avoid having to cliche install in the first place)
