Instructions

  1. Make setup.py in your project

    from setuptools import setup
    
    setup(name='project',
          version='1.0',
          description='thing do-er',
          author='Your Name',
          url='http://path.to.website',
          py_modules=[''],
          classifiers=['Environment :: Console',
                       'Intended Audience :: Developers',
                       'License :: OSI Approved :: MIT License',
                       'Programming Language :: Python :: 3.4',
                       'Operating System :: POSIX :: Linux',
                       'Topic :: Utilities', ],
          entry_points={'console_scripts': ['commandline = module:function'], }, )
    

    There is lots more that you can do in a setup.py file. This example aims to get you started with the bare minimum required.
