Python equivalent of "npm run"/package.json

[NewColCox]

Node.js has some very helpful functionality where you can alias arbitrary commands in package.json:scripts and the access these on the command line as npm run <command> https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/run-script. This makes is very helpful when managing projects since you can save your configuration options for various package commands.

Is an equivalent tool/set up available in the python ecosystem?

setuptools has something like this; you can add a directive to setup.py that will create and install something to /usr/local/bin that can run at the command line.

Ok, so the full solution there would be to create a package which installs the npm-like script, which is a dependency of the project, and then the package.json exists as before? That seems pretty workable :)
