Can distutils install the module/package as an executable script?
Question: I'm using distutils.core.setup for the first time. I got it to install my
module in /usr/lib/python/site-packages.

If I run python from any directory and do `import my_module` it all works
great.

However, I need to run my module as script. It's not intended as a library,
but rather as an application. If I run from terminal `python my_module` it
does not find the file.

I wanted to make an executable script that will run my module and put a sym
link to it in /usr/bin, but that seems like a hacky way to solve this. I
presume distutils has something to install your module as an executable
script, except I wasn't able to find it. Could someone please point me to an
example or doc file for this?

Edit: Also, if this is not the right way to distribute a python application,
what should I use instead?


Answer: Use distutils.core.setup(scripts=['myprogram']) instead of
py_modules=['mymodule.py']
