[Python-Dev] Distutils2 scripts (original) (raw)

Hello,

In the Distutils2 project, we'll have quite a few scripts that can be called via -m

$ python -m distutils2.depgraph : shows a dependency graph $ python -m distutils2.install : installs a project $ python -m distutils2.run command : runs a distutils2 command

etc..

The feedback I received for this is pretty clear: people want a single script that can be called directly. e.g.

$ distutils2 depgraph $ distutils2 install $ distutils2 run command

Fair enough, I can add that script in the project and get it installed when people install the project.

I just wanted to make sure that once distutils2 is back in the stdlib, it's OK for us to add that script in the distribution. I remember that people did not want "yet another script" in there, so I just wanted to double-check before I take this path

Thanks ! Tarek
