#14919 — can one change the path of generated entry point console_scripts

Hey.

When I use dh-python to build a package that contains a pyproject.toml
and uses python3-setuptools for building like e.g. described here
https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/userguide/entry_point.html

and I use that entry point feature to have a script auto-generated
that calls my main():[project.scripts]
somescript = "package:main"

is it possible to change the path were that script is finally put it
the package (i.e. not ./usr/bin/)?

I tried to look it up in other Debian source packages, but all that I
checked and which contain Python scripts in non-/usr/bin locations
simply put a real file there, and not such a auto-generated one.


Thanks,
Philippe.

Just move it somewhere else later in the build? e.g. after dh_install.

/usr/bin is where user-executable scripts should go, unless they belong
in /usr/sbin or /usr/games.

Internal scripts (that will be executed by the full path name) can live
in /usr/share/<packagename> or similar.

I had tried that before, with a debian/mypackage.install file but got
an error that it doesn't find the file.
Then I realized that I cannot use e.g.:
   usr/bin/script    usr/sbin/
but have to use:
   debian/mypackage/usr/bin/script    usr/sbin/
in the .install file.

Is that the right way? Or is there a more proper "way"?


Thanks,
Philippe.

That's not what "move it [...] after dh_install" means, it usually means a
manual mv call.

Yes, .install is not for moving files between directories inside a
package. Please check its two use cases in dh_install(1).

I don't think this is a good idea.
