Hi Paul. https://bitbucket.org/dholth/wheel/commits/db913ecc2c0bb7fec14ba9eae68f99d9a9743bf6
Wheel 0.20.0 won't put entry_points console_scripts and gui_scripts in the wheel itself. The new "python -m wheel install-scripts wheel pip" command for example would install those scripts for wheel and pip into the default scripts directory. It requires setuptools, not just pkg_resources. Here's what I did to accomplish that using easy_install: dist = 'pip' pkg_resources_dist = pkg_resources.get_distribution(dist) install = wheel.paths.get_install_command(dist) command = easy_install.easy_install(install.distribution) command.args = ['wheel'] # dummy argument command.finalize_options() command.install_egg_scripts(pkg_resources_dist) It would be fun to experiment with alternative implementations like the "just import and run it" wrapper, and it might be nice to update the RECORD of installed files as part of the operation. It should also be possible to use less easy_install. _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
