pwb code entry point was introduced in release 7.0.0 with rPWBC68f381a <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/rPWBC68f381a435dd99b0c059da5113141798aa5d897f>. No scripts were supported with previous releases as a site-package installation, neither pwb.py, the generate_*.py scripts nore even version.py. The current packaging collects all files inside the pywikibot folder but the pwb.py wrapper is outside of this scope. Therefore the make_dist.py <https://doc.wikimedia.org/pywikibot/master/utilities/install.html#module-make_dist> script was added which copies the wrapper script into the pywikibot directory, creates the distribution and cleanups the copied file(s). There are two ways to solve this task: 1. Add a documentation hint to the documentation not to install a pywikibot site-package diectly from a repository but use make_dist script instead. That would be ok to install from a local checkout but fails when installing from a remote git repository. 2. move the pwb.py script to the pywikibot/scripts folder (as well as a minimal i18n pywikibot translation file) and add a caller script to the main root like (code snippet from pwb.exe entry point): import sys from pywikibot.scripts.pwb import main if __name__ == '__main__': sys.exit(main()) TASK DETAIL https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T320851 EMAIL PREFERENCES https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/ To: Xqt Cc: Xqt, Aklapper, pywikibot-bugs-list, JJMC89, PotsdamLamb, Jyoo1011, JohnsonLee01, SHEKH, Dijkstra, Khutuck, Zkhalido, Viztor, Wenyi, Tbscho, MayS, Mdupont, Dvorapa, Altostratus, Avicennasis, mys_721tx, jayvdb, Masti, Alchimista
