How to create a command line version of your python script

DONT USE python setup.py install, use “pip install .”. Otherwise console scripts do not work.

Manifest.in needs to include requirements.txt for it to get added into the distribution. Add this line:

include requirements.txt

"""
setup.py -- setup script for use of packages.
"""
import sys
import os
from os import path
from setuptools import setup

# Restrict to a fairly recent python version
if sys.version_info < (3,6):
    sys.exit('Sorry, Python < 3.6 is not supported')

# Get the list of requirements
#with open('/Users/jrichards/Projects/jrtools/requirements.txt') as f:
with open('requirements.txt') as f:
    requirements = f.read().splitlines()

# Not using 'packages=find_namespace_packages(include=['jrtools.*'])',
# but instead 'packages=['jrtools.flux_densities', 'jrtools.quick_chart']'.
# The reason is that setuptools.find_namespace_packages is not available
# on some pthon distributions. Listing them all manually is better anyway.
setup(
    name='jrtools',
    packages=['jrtools.flux_densities', 'jrtools.quick_chart'],
    version='1.0',
    install_requires=requirements,
    entry_points={
        'console_scripts': [
            'flux_densities=jrtools.flux_densities:main',
        ],
