运行使用 setup.py 文件的应用程序

Question

I have the application that uses setup.py with entry point like this

  entry_points={
      'console_scripts': [
          'service = service.main:main',
      ]
  }

When building whl package using setup.py file, I can install it and run the application just fine using the application name.

The project itself is organized in a way that I have src folder with the source code.

src/
    service/
       main.py

But I need to deploy it to CloudFoundry. I thought to specify the start command in a manifest file.

applications:
 - buildpack: https://github.com/cloudfoundry/python-buildpack#v1.7.15
   disk_quota: 2G
   command: python setup.py ???

But how to run it without creating and then installing a package? Because running it like python src/service/main.py doesn't work, so I presume I need to execute it differently or something.

Answer 1

In the end I dropped setup.py altogether, adjusted project structure and created __main__.py file.

service\
    __main__.py
    ....

Then I set command: python -m service and that at least started the application.
