[issue29411] Option --executable for entry_points

[Michal Cyprian]

Michal Cyprian added the comment:

Yes, both references in my previous message point to the patch for setuptools, sorry for that. Here [3] is the patch that I prepared for distutils. I marked all the versions, because this functionality is missing in all of them. In my opinion it will be enough to apply this patch to the latest Python3 and Python2 version.

pypa-dev thread is here [4]. The response that I've got is not publicly visible. I am not sure why it was sent directly to my address. I will ask them to make it public. In short this PR will be helpful for setuptools and they asked me to check also how can distlib and pip support this use case.
