Correct docstring of ipython.py #2859
Conversation
The script installed by setup.py is auto-generated by distutils. Fixes ipython#2858.
I misspoke - it's setuptools that does console_scripts, there are hardcoded scripts that are ~never used in IPython/scripts and IPython/parallel/scripts. |
So should those other scripts be deleted? |
In the (fairly rare, these days) cases of downloading a tarball and running setup.py install, I think they are still used. |

I only mean it doesn't have to describe the particulars of the installed scripts - it just needs to identify itself as not that. |
I personally think it's useful. In fact, after learning that you could do that from all this, I implemented it in another project (inducer/pudb#54). |
fair enough. |
