identify more binary definitions

[MasonEgger]

It appears that currently pipx doesn't support installing packages that don't have a binary associated with them. One said tool that I used pipsi to install and would like to use pipx to install would be the awscli

[14:14:43] megger:~ $ pipx install awscli
No binaries associated with this package

Is there any plans to support this type of installation?

pipx did not find any binaries, but in fact they do exist.

awscli defines their entrypoints using scripts rather than entry_points (https://github.com/aws/aws-cli/blob/develop/setup.py#L47). I will let you know when I add support for this. Thanks for reporting!

OK this should be fixed. You can give it a try with

pipx update awscli

Let me know how it goes. Thanks!

I'm going to close. If it's still not working add another comment and I'll take a look.

Am I missing anything?

Thanks for filing, I just confirmed this no longer works. I filed a new issue to work on this. #91
