Difference between entry_points/console_scripts and scripts in setup.py?

Question

There are basically two ways to install Python console scripts to my path by setup.py:

setup(
    ...
    entry_points = {
        \'console_scr         


        

Answer 1

One more difference is that when using console_scripts, my module's init file was run. When just using scripts, the module init was not run, only the script was run.
