Late to the party, but here’s a solution to “Python packaging” that works fantastically for all my stuff and requires four lines of setup and (only) one magical invocation — pip:

  $ cat dogclock/__init__.py
  import arrow  # Example dependency
  def bark():
      print(*(["woof"] * arrow.get().hour))

  $ cat scripts/dogclock
  #!/usr/bin/env python3
  import dogclock
  dogclock.bark()

  $ cat setup.py
  from setuptools import setup
  setup(
      install_requires=['arrow'],
      packages=['dogclock'],
      scripts=['scripts/dogclock'])

  $ pip3 install .
  …

  $ dogclock
  woof woof woof woof woof woof
