[Distutils] 'Invalid module name' creating package with setuptools

[Luí­s de Sousa]

Hi Marius, thank you for the reply.

If I remove the line # coding=utf8, I get the following error:

$ python setup.py bdist_wheel --universal
File "setup.py", line 18
SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character '\xc3' in file setup.py on line 18, but no encoding declared; see http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263.html for details

I created main functions in each of these scripts and altered the entry points bit to:

entry_points={
'console_scripts': [
'scriptA=proj:scriptA:main',
'scriptB=proj:scriptB:main'
],
},

This way I get this error:

$ python setup.py bdist_wheel --universal
error in proj setup command: ("EntryPoint must be in 'name=module:attrs [extras]' format", 'scriptA=proj:scriptA:main')

The __init__.py file is empty, by the way. Any other hints?

Thank you,

Luís

I'm not sure this is right -- an entry point should point to a python
module (not a package) and a function in that module, so something like

'scriptA=proj.scriptA:main',
'scriptB=proj.scriptB:main',

I've never tried to define entry points pointing to functions defined in
the __init__.py of a package, so I don't know if you're allowed to write

scriptX=proj:fn

or if you have to explicitly say

scriptX=proj.__init__:fn

(That is not a good error message indeed.)
