   Hi,

   Usually any scripts which require execution permission are defined in

   [project.scripts]

   Then the build backed move it there and applies execution permission.

   See: https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/userguide/quickstart.html#entry-points-and-automatic-script-creation

   We're definitely open to tweaking this. Could you stop by #integrations in chat.zulip.org and describe with some more detail why you need this change? That's where we make decisions and can bring in the folks needed to approve a change, and I don't off the top of my head know which specific scripts you have in mind.

   Hello @timabbott

   I see some scripts are present in setupt.py

       entry_points={
           "console_scripts": [
               "zulip-send=zulip.send:main",
               "zulip-api-examples=zulip.api_examples:main",
               "zulip-matrix-bridge=integrations.bridge_with_matrix.matrix_bridge:main",
               "zulip-api=zulip.cli:cli",
           ],
       },

   May you just add all scripts from integration instead of trying to invoke them directly?

   ./irc-mirror.py --irc-server=IRC_SERVER --channel= --nick-prefix= --stream= [optional args]

   Each package in integration would require additional work to make it a proper Python package with main() entry point and __init__.py similar like integrations.bridge_with_matrix.matrix_bridge:main

   We started adding it on Guix package side, but it feels the wrong way so better upstream it first ;-)

   As requested I described what @Hellseher suggest here: #integrations > Adjust packaging scheme @ 💬
