Generate shell completions and man page when a python package is building.

Usage

Add this package to your build requires:

[build-system]
requires = [ "setuptools >= 45", "setuptools-generate",]
build-backend = "setuptools.build_meta"

[project]
name = "demo"
version = "0.0.1"

[project.scripts]
demo = "demo:main"

Build your package:

python -m build

See your build/resources:

$ tree build/resources
 build/resources
├──  demo-0.0.1-py3-none-any.whl  # wheel file
├──  demo-0.0.1.tar.gz  # source distribution file
├──  demo.1.gz  # man page
├──  demo.1.md  # markdown converted from the man page for document
└──  demo.fish  # fish completion script

You got them.
