It's possible to use system site packages within Python virtual environment, but there is no way to install console or gui scripts into such environment.
With the help of this plugin the corresponding scripts will be automatically generated for all of system site packages.
This is mostly used for testing purposes in ALTLinux during RPM build of Python packages to run integration tests against the repository packages.
The two possible options may be provided with:
tox.iniconfiguration file
[testenv]
console_scripts = True
- command line option
tox --console-scripts
Note: both require sitepackages.
Distributed under the terms of the MIT license, tox-console-scripts is
free and open source software.
