However, after reflection, I think now that -m probably only really makes sense for stdlib modules, since projects using setuptools can now get all the benefits of -m without any of the drawbacks, without even writing any __name__=='__main__' code.
One thing you get with -m is that the module doesn't have to be on PATH. Where does setuptools install its wrapper executables? (The usual \Python24\Scripts directory isn't added to PATH by the installer).
I know, I'm nitpicking. Sorry :-)
No, you're not. IMO. setuptools installs them in PythonXY\Scripts.
BTW: Shouldn't 'setup.py develop --uninstall' remove them again? It doesn't.
And yet another question: How should my setup-script start? Is this the correct way:
""" from ez_setup import use_setuptools use_setuptools()
from distutils.core import setup """
I'm considering to finally use setuptools in the comtypes setup script.
