Details

Description:

I'm not sure if this is intentionally left out but I'm missing the 'flit' script itself
that I can just use as a commandline application?

Running `pacman -Ql python-flit` lists lots of files in ../site-packages and the license in /usr/share
but nothing in /usr/bin. Therefore I can only use flit as `python -m flit ...`.


Additional info:
* package version(s): 3.2.0-1
* config and/or log files etc.: attached pacman -Ql output

Steps to reproduce:
* Install python-flit
* Try to run `flit`
   pacman-Ql-flit.txt (17.9 KiB)
This task depends upon

Reverting [1] and /usr/bin/flit is created.
An issue with python-dephell 0.8.3-3 ?
Edit:
Building with python-build instead avoids the issue. Attached POC diff [2].

Simpler diff, build using python-build install using python-install.

The package should also probably be called `flit`, as that script is the sole purpose of its existence.

The `python-flit-core` package contains the library.

Hi, can you please take a look? I use flit daily and typing `pipx run --pip-args='keyring' flit` gets unwieldy.

As a workaround I have simply created a file /usr/local/bin/flit with the following script:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
from flit import main
main()

This works for commandline usage of flit but I still thought the script should be contained in the package, thus this issue.
