I am moving my config from setup.py to setup.cfg and having issues setting up the entry_points parameter. At the moment I am using a hybrid approach which works, however, I would like to move the entry_points to setup.cfg.
From
def setup_package(): setup(version=get_version(), entry_points={'console_scripts':['app=my_package.app.run:cli'],}) to
[metadata] name = my-package description = my-package license = unlicensed long-description = README.md platforms = any classifiers = Programming Language :: Python [options] zip_safe = False packages = my_package, my_package.app include_package_data = True package_dir = = . tests_require = pytest; pytest-cov [entry_points] console_scripts = my-package = my_package.app.run:cli

Entry points are a type of metadata that can be exposed by packages on installation. They are a very useful feature of the Python ecosystem, and come specially handy in two scenarios: 1. The package would like to provide commands to be run at the terminal. This functionality is known as console scripts.
you must have a valid setup.py file apart from setup. cfg and pyproject. toml . You can use the same dummy setup file I shared in the previous section that makes just a single call to the setup() method.
Nope, setup. cfg it is not deprecated and the documentation you mention is misleading. There were serious reasons like security related to the fact that setup.py needed execution and that's the main reason of moving away from it.
py:34: SetuptoolsDeprecationWarning: setup.py install is deprecated. Use build and pip and other standards-based tools. I found a very detailed write-up explaining this issue: "Why you shouldn't invoke setup.py directly" (October 2021).
The section must be [options.entry_points]. See an example at https://github.com/github/octodns/blob/4b44ab14b1f0a52f1051c67656d6e3dd6f0ba903/setup.cfg#L34
[options.entry_points] console_scripts = octodns-compare = octodns.cmds.compare:main octodns-dump = octodns.cmds.dump:main octodns-report = octodns.cmds.report:main octodns-sync = octodns.cmds.sync:main octodns-validate = octodns.cmds.validate:main If you love us?
