Delete startup.py and use setuptools #51

Closed 0ddlyoko closed 3 years ago

Setuptools is a library that allow us (developers) to build, package and distribute Python packages.

I think we should use setuptools to build and distribute McPy to pypi.org (pip)

How would McPy make sense as a package? It's not a library or anything of sorts, it's its own full standalone program.

0ddlyoko commented 3 years ago

Maybe it's not a library but at least you can install it using pip and it will automatically install required libraries

Geolykt commented 3 years ago

At the very best only the plugin API should be included

I think we need to focus on getting McPy more new-user friendly. Maybe we just have people download a .zip of the source code and have them run a "dependencies.py"-like program, or we have a setuptools/PyPi.org type thing. I will start looking into both solutions and get back soon with more info.

I have aimed to fix this with #53. Its not as far as creating a package with setuptools, but it creates an easier way to install dependencies, etc.

Startup.py was removed in PR #53.
