hi!
I am really confused about all the
setuptools/distutils/distribute/distutils2/easy_install/pip situation, but
still have a little frustration about writing your own command for python
setup.py your_command_name.
Right now, for example, babel package provides it's command::
python setup.py extract_messages
To do that, the part::
[distutils.commands]
extract_messages = babel.messages.frontend:extract_messages
is ok, but what I dislike is the whole::
from distutils.cmd import Command
class extract_messages(Command):
# provide user_options and 3 more function implementations in here
pass
thing. I find it really implicit.
I mean, how do I run the command extract_messages from python? Maybe
implementation of command should be that it can be called from regular python
code like::
extract_messages(my_custom_kwargs=here)
?
