Root Cause

The user-site bin directory is not included in PATH, so console_scripts entry points are not discoverable after installation.

generic

中文

用户 site 的 bin 目录未包含在 PATH 中，因此安装后无法发现 console_scripts 入口点。

Workarounds

  1. 98% success 
    echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
  2. 85% success 
    python -c "import site, os; print(os.path.join(site.USER_BASE, 'bin'))"
$HOME/.local/bin/mytool --help

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. 90% fail

    Suppresses the warning but the script remains unreachable from the shell.

  2. 50% fail

    Installs to system bin, which may not be writable and pollutes the OS Python.

  3. 60% fail

    May require root and puts files in a location that could shadow system tools.
