Something to consider here is how this will interact with Python files which

refer to the module defined by /usr/bin/trial.
I've long held the position that modules and scripts are distinct, and
should never share a source file.  All the work that's going into
dealing with this just reinforces my position.
I agree.  In fact, so do the distribution tools.  I don't even include actual
scripts in my packages any more, I just add the right goo to setup.py and let
distutils DTRT:



That (below) is not distutils it is setuptools. distutils just uses `scripts=[...]`, which annoyingly *doesn't* work with setuptools.

setup(
     # ...
     entry_points    = {
         'console_scripts' : list(scripts),
         },
     # ...
     )
