I have a python script, myscript.py, which I wish to install using distutils:

from distutils.core import setup
setup(..., scripts=['myscript.py'], ...)

I'd prefer if I could call the installed script using just myscript instead of typing myscript.py. This could be accomplished by renaming the file to just myscript but then a lot of editors etc. would no longer understand that it is a Python file.

Is there some way to keep the old name, myscript.py but still install the file as myscript?

python distutils
