6 years ago Another solution is to set up your files like the following:
__main__.py
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
"""
Entrypoint module, in case you use `python -mdependenpy`.
Why does this file exist, and why __main__? For more info, read:
- https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0338/
- https://docs.python.org/2/using/cmdline.html#cmdoption-m
- https://docs.python.org/3/using/cmdline.html#cmdoption-m
"""
import sys
from dependenpy.cli import main
if __name__ == "__main__":
main(sys.argv[1:])cli.py
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
"""
Module that contains the command line application.
Why does this file exist, and why not put this in __main__?
You might be tempted to import things from __main__ later,
but that will cause problems: the code will get executed twice:
- When you run `python -mretox` python will execute
``__main__.py`` as a script. That means there won't be any
``retox.__main__`` in ``sys.modules``.
- When you import __main__ it will get executed again (as a module) because
there's no ``retox.__main__`` in ``sys.modules``.

def main(args=None):
...setup.py
...
entry_points={
'console_scripts': [
'retox = retox.cli:main',
],

When installing through pip, I get this executable file:
As you can see, it runs
main()without parameters, which results in the following error;
