Execute an installed Python package as a script?

Question

Is there a way to enable a package to be executed as a script? For example:

[~]# easy_install /path/to/foo.egg
...
[~]# python -m foo --name World
Hello Worl         


        

Answer 1

as long as the package is on the python path, add at the end of the script.

if __name__ == "__main__":
     call_script()

$ python -m module_name  

will run the module e.g

python -m random
