I've got a Python project aws-ssm-tools that uses setup.py for packaging. It comes with 3 scripts: ssm-tunnel, ssm-session and ssm-copy.
It can be installed with pip install aws-ssm-tools and puts the scripts to ~/.local/bin/.
However when I try to install it with pipx it fails:
~ $ pipx install aws-ssm-tools
No apps associated with package aws-ssm-tools. Try again with '--include-deps'
to include apps of dependent packages, which are listed above. If you are
attempting to install a library, pipx should not be used. Consider using pip or
a similar tool instead.
I have the scripts specified in setup.py:
SCRIPTS = [
'ssm-session',
'ssm-copy',
'ssm-tunnel',
'ssm-tunnel-updown.dns-example',
]
# ...
setup(
name="aws-ssm-tools",
version=VERSION,
packages=find_packages(),
scripts=SCRIPTS+[
'ssm-tunnel-agent'
],
# ...
)
What else do I have to do to make pipx happy?
As stated in the pipx documentation chapter "How pipx works", section "Developing for pix", the project requires setuptools entry_points.
According to the content of your question, it seems that the target project uses scripts, they are similar in purpose to entry-points but pipx does not look for those and does not expose them.
