I'd like to convert my python script to a module that can be called from the commandline. Kind of like pytest or something. For instance, my script is named egscript.py. I have to run the script like this, >python3 egscript.py [commandline args]
What I want instead is to be able to do it like this, >egscript [commandline args]
How can I achieve this?
As you can see in this link, you can use:
C:\> assoc .py=Python C:\> ftype Python="C:\python27\python.exe %1 %*" I suggest you to see the link I put before. If you want to run it as a package like pip install egscript and then use egscript, you have to create a package to upload it into the Python Package Index(PyPy). To make that posible, follow the steps in these links: Build Your First pip Package, Packaging Python Projects.
You could set an alias in your .bashrc or .zshrc file
alias egscript="python3 /path/to/egscript.py" Or you could turn it into an executive using something like pyinstaller, and then you can run the script like ./egscript
