- garbagepatch 1y agoIt makes sense to still have a main function. It doesn't make sense to have a class only to wrap that main function.
- nromiun 1y agoWhat? When did that go away? What is the alternative?
- rhdunn 1y agoIn a pyproject.toml file you can create/define scripts that reference an entry function. E.g.: # myapp/app.py def main(): print('Hello!') and in the pyproject.toml: [project.scripts] app = "myapp.app:main" You can still use the __name__ check at the end of the file, e.g.: if __name__ == '__main__': main() That way it works both as a standalone and when installed via pip/uv. -- Note: The scripts created by the installer are slightly more complicated versions of that __name__ check that handle the application argument (arg 0) and the exit code as the return value from main().
