Vinay Sajip <vinay_sa...@yahoo.co.uk> added the comment: FYI: In pythonv, the build_scripts functionality provides identical support for dotted callables to what Éric proposed, while preserving existing functionality for ordinary script files. Thus:
scripts = demo1 demo2 = amodule.main demo3 = apackage.asubpackage.main gui copies demo1 (adjusting its shebang) and creates demo2 and demo3 from the dotted callables (using the appropriate shebang). While working on this, I came up against a problem with build_scripts in virtual environments: if I install a project into virtual env 1, then scripts are built with shebangs pointing to that env. If I then install the same project into virtual env 2, then the scripts are not re-created, so they would be installed into virtual env 2 with shebangs referencing virtual env 1. One solution is to set the force flag for virtual environments, but then if you later install into the system Python, then files with wrong shebangs could be installed there. I think the force flag should default to True for build_scripts; the extra script build time would be negligible except in pathological cases.
