    <p>How can I configure <code>setup.py</code> to install scripts with a <code>.py</code> prefix on Windows platforms but without the prefix on all others? The problem I'm trying to solve is that <a href="http://docs.python.org/3/faq/windows.html#how-do-i-make-python-scripts-executable" rel="nofollow">Windows requires a <code>.py</code> extension to recognize and execute Python scripts</a>.</p> <p>I have a package set up like the following:</p> <pre><code>MyPackage ├── CHANGES ├── ... ├── scripts │   └── myprogram ├── setup.py └── mypackage ├── __init__.py ├── ... └── myprogram.py </code></pre> <p>In my setup.py file I declare <code>scripts/myprogram</code> as an installable script with</p> <pre><code>#!/usr/bin/env python # -*- coding: UTF-8 -*- from setuptools import setup ... setup( name='MyPackage', ... packages=['mypackage'], scripts=['scripts/myprogram'], ... ) </code></pre> <p>The <code>myprogram</code> script is just a thin wrapper that simply calls <code>mypackage.myprogram.main()</code>:</p> <pre><code>#!/usr/bin/env python # -*- coding: UTF-8 -*- from mypackage import myprogram myprogram.main() </code></pre> <p>On *nix platforms, this installs <code>myprogram</code> as an executable by the name of <code>myprogram</code>, which is what I desire, but on Windows, it also installs as <code>myprogram</code> in the <code>C:\PythonXX\Scripts</code> directory, and is thus not recognized on the command line. How can I get the setup script to install <code>myprogram</code> as <code>myprogram.py</code> on Windows, so that Windows recognizes the file type to make it executable?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
