Are your referring to the Package Metadata ? (eg the PEP 314 that lands in the PKG-INFO) 'scripts' is just an argument that is used by the commands to generate the scripts, I don't think they should land in the Package Metadata, but I think we should have an API for any installed distribution to list them. Right now PEP 376 proposes a RECORD file that lists all files installed for a distribution, but maybe we could have a flag that indicates that a file is an executable script How does that sounds ?
