README

        
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.
