Hi,
I'm used to develop and test from within a single project-directory,
without any staging area, etc. As long as I did use scripts, this worked
very well. But when switching to pkg_resources entry-points, I get
problems: Now I need to ask easy_install (or setup.py develop ...) to
create the "scripts" for me.
Running
python setup.py develop --install-dir . --script-dir .
gives an "error: bad install directory or PYTHONPATH" since the current
directory is not in PYTHONPATH.
Installation to the current directory isn't supported, as it's rather
a bad idea (for one thing, you could accidentally overwrite something).
My suggestion would be:
mkdir bin
python setup.py develop -md bin
bin/scriptname (to run a script)
Notice that the use of the -m flag means that the 'bin' directory
doesn't have to be on PYTHONPATH for this to work. There will simply
be an .egg-link file placed there, along with your scripts.
