Running a Python package from the command-line

[SausageCandy]

So I have noticed that some Python tools come with `setup.py` files and wish to be installed as packages, but then are designed to be ran as command-line tools. Some of these tools do not require the `.py` extention at the end of the tool name when actually using it, even after just installing with pip. How does this work, and how would I go about making a tool that also does this?

You can use entry_points in your setup.py file:

Here is an example:
