Hey, this was the best python entry points article I’ve ever read. Thank you!
This didn’t work for me:
$ .../snek
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "...", line 6, in <module>
from snek import main
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'snek'
, until I added py_modules=['snek'],
to the setup
call, then it worked fine. Thanks!
I read a lot of docs to understand the entry points.
This is the simplest and most creative tutorial I found. Thanks!
Simply amazing. Please don’t deprive the word from amazing posts like this!!
So creative and welllllllll explained
Wow, this tutorials is fantastic!
Great post — thanks so much. For years I’ve only used entry points for console-scripts, but this is super handy, so it feels like a real level-up!
One thought: is importlib.metadata.entry_points()
the preferred way to do this now, rather than pkg_resources
? I was using pkg_resources
for a while, following your examples, but then discovered about importlib
and saw suggestions that this is the way to go now… If so, might be worth adding a note about this possibility?
This was such a good post, thanks so much.
This is a great tutorial. The piece that I am missing, how does a packager advertise to the world in pypip they offer sneks as a service? Can we just add classifiers willy nilly? Do we use the “Plugins” in conjunction with something else?
I signed up just to say this was the best tutorial ever! Humor greatly appreciated.
