I am moving my config from setup.py to setup.cfg and having issues setting up the entry_points parameter. At the moment I am using a hybrid approach which works, however, I would like to move the entry_points to setup.cfg.
From
def setup_package():
setup(version=get_version(),
entry_points={'console_scripts':['app=my_package.app.run:cli'],})
to
[metadata]
name = my-package
description = my-package
license = unlicensed
long-description = README.md
platforms = any
classifiers =
Programming Language :: Python
[options]
zip_safe = False
packages = my_package, my_package.app
include_package_data = True
package_dir =
= .
tests_require = pytest; pytest-cov
[entry_points]
console_scripts =
my-package = my_package.app.run:cli
The section must be [options.entry_points]. See an example at https://github.com/github/octodns/blob/4b44ab14b1f0a52f1051c67656d6e3dd6f0ba903/setup.cfg#L34
[options.entry_points]
console_scripts =
octodns-compare = octodns.cmds.compare:main
octodns-dump = octodns.cmds.dump:main
octodns-report = octodns.cmds.report:main
octodns-sync = octodns.cmds.sync:main
octodns-validate = octodns.cmds.validate:main
With python 3.6 and setuptools 39.0.1, i had like you to move entry points from .py to .cfg.
My setup.py, focused on the entry points declaration:
from setuptools import setup
setup(
entry_points={
'pytest11': [
'mytest = mytest.plugin',
],
},
)
I ended up with this working setup.cfg:
... # other standard declarations
[options.entry_points]
pytest11 =
mytest = mytest.plugin
