What am I doing wrong in setup.py

[gps1539]

Hi

I recently created my first pypi package (trespass). I can use pip install trespass and it pulls the dependencies, creates the /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/trespass directory and python /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/trespass/trespass.py runs correctly. What I seem to be missing is how do I install trespass to /usr/bin? I looked at a few example setup.py files but I can't see where I messed up.

Here are my setup.py file and setup.cfg files

from distutils.core import setup
setup(
name = 'trespass',
packages = ['trespass'], # this must be the same as the name above
install_requires=[
'numpy',
'pygpgme',
'pyperclip',
'argparse',
],
version = '0.6.5.1',
description = 'A secure password keeper',
author = 'Graham Smith',
author_email = '[email protected]',
license='GPL3',
url = 'https://github.com/gps1539/trespass', # use the URL to the github repo
download_url = 'https://github.com/gps1539/trespass/archive/0.1.tar.gz',
keywords = ['testing', 'logging', 'example'], # arbitrary keywords
classifiers = [],
)

[metadata]
description-file = README.md

I could be totally wrong in this but its worth a shot
setup(name='myproject',author='',author_email='',scripts=['/usr/bin/myscript.py'])

Other than that i would assume to copy your executable to /usr/bin and ask for permission and check if there is a filename in there already

Thanks metulburr I'll try that.

There is also a console_scripts Entry Point,that can be used for this.
Will make command-line script available for both Windows and POSIX platforms.
For Windows it will even create an .exe file so that users don’t have to change their PATH settings.

Here a demo i use Click ,the method work the same for example argparse.

# greet.py
import click
 
@click.command()
@click.option('--count', default=3, help='Number of greetings.')
@click.option('--name', prompt='Your name', help='Command line stuff')

def hello(count, name):
    '''Simple program that greets name and count'''
    for x in range(count):
        click.echo(f'Hello {name} {"☂"}')        
 
if __name__ == '__main__':
    hello()

# setup.py
from setuptools import setup

setup(
    name='hello',
    version='0.1',
    py_modules=['greet'],
    install_requires=[
        'Click',
    ],
    entry_points='''
        [console_scripts]
        greet=greet:hello
    ''',
)

So run python setup.py bdist_wheel
So this make a wheel,should always make wheel and not source distribution like tarball.
Install:
pip install hello-0.1-py3-none-any.whl
So can now access greet from anywhere in cmd.
There has been made a greet.exe in Scripts folder of Python installation.
Test:

                                                                  
C:\

Well I edited my setup.py to include scripts = ['trespass/trespass'], it upload and when I installed it did copy to /usr/bin, however when I edited to make one more change the upload fails "AssertionError: unsupported schema" and I've no idea why as nothing else changed.

I download the setup.py from the successful upload from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/trespass/0.6.5.3 and just bumped up the version and I still get "AssertionError: unsupported schema". I'm very confused.

sudo python setup.py sdist upload -r pypi

I tried again with no changes on my side and I can upload again.
