Documentation

This is a Python package to hold the Windows executables used to make a Python script runnable as a command on Windows.

To use one of these executables, make a copy of it called e.g. foo.exe, and place a Python script next to it called foo-script.py. If the script starts with a shebang (#!C:\path\to\python.exe), that will be launched. If not, it assumes that python.exe is on %PATH%.

The Python package exposes one function, find_exe:

from win_cli_launchers import find_exe
# Get the path to one of the executables
find_exe(arch='x86')
find_exe(arch='x64')

These exes are part of setuptools; this package exists just to provide them without requiring the rest of setuptools. They are released under the same MIT license as setuptools.
