Installing a script and use it via python -m

[Oktaka Com]

Hi all,

Is there a way to do below:

1) install via setup.py some script: xxx.py
2) python -m xxx.py

In fact, this question opens to: Is there a platform independent way
to copy xxx.py to somewhere that the system will search for?

Thanks,

Depends what's in your $PYTHONPATH I think, but setup.py has an "install
for user" option. Use that, then plain old python -m xxx (note: no .py
here - it is the module name, not the file pathname).

Cheers,
