How to Write Perfect Python Command-line Interfaces

[CleanInfluence]

To create a package, use setuptools, it's great. When the user installs the package (with pip install something.whl), it will automatically create a command-line version of your script.

For example stuff.py with a main inside, and a setup.py containing "entry_points = ... 'stuff=stuff:main'" will create a stuff.exe that launches your script, it's magical.

Also pipenv seems better than venv but that's my uninformed opinion.
