My extended metadata already covers this, though I use the name "exports"
(suggested by PJE) because you can share not just code but data, and "entry
points" generally implies code. The current version of distil creates wrappers
for both gui and console scripts, and adds the appropriate native executable
wrappers (32- or 64-bit, according to the running Python) on Windows.
Example of the metadata for setuptools 0.8:
"exports": { "distutils.commands": [ "alias = setuptools.command.alias:alias",
"bdist_egg = setuptools.command.bdist_egg:bdist_egg", "bdist_rpm =
