Why make me define an entry point for that? I can just put it in /usr/bin or somewhere in the path on Windows and call it as "hello.py".
That works but a lot of Unix users have in the past objected to having '.py' in the name. People then start trying to cater for them by leaving off the '.py', which means it doesn't work on Windows, etc etc.
Why can't the install_scripts command from distutils install with a .py extension on windonws and without on UNIX? (Or rather: what would be wrong with such an approach?) Regards Floris -- Debian GNU/Linux -- The Power of Freedom www.debian.org | www.gnu.org | www.kernel.org
