Executing python module with Click command using command line

I have created a directory 'prince' which consists of a subdirectory 'src' containing 'main.py' file in it. This main.py uses Click command for input from user using command line. So currently I have to set current working directory to 'prince' in terminal and then execute my module using the command

'$ python -m src.main run --s 10 20 30'

where 'run', '--s' are my click command inputs.

Is there an easy way to wrap 'python -m src.main' to something short to execute my module along with inputs using click command ? Or any better way to execute my module along with inputs from user ?

I hope this will answer your question.

In your src/main.py file you could add a #!/usr/bin/env python3 shebang which means that your program is run by python by default.

And you should give it execute permissions via

chmod +x src/main.py

That means you can now run 

src/main run --s 10 20 30

Instead of

$ python -m src.main run --s 10 20 30

Antother way to achieve this would be:

Create a file in the "prince" directory named "start" with Content:

python3 -m src.main "$@"

Give it executable permissions:

chmod +x start

Now you can run:

./start run --s 10 20 30
