Minimal packaging for img2braille
Since PR #7 still seems to be in the early draft stage, I would like to suggest another path to turn this program into a package. This PR allows the program to be installable via pip (or pipx) from GitHub:
pip install git+https://github.com/TheFel0x/img2braille.git
with fairly small changes, though it is not designed to be used as a library module.
(To make it installable from PyPI, you still need to upload it.)
The idea is basically to bundle a single file package (famous example: six). Because script.py is too general for a unique name, I renamed it to img2braille.py. pyproject.toml contains the package information (you need to review author information, etc).
The main "function" is added to img2braille.py for the main entry point of the executable (the whole program code is executed when img2braille is imported).
The following commands shows what happens (using my branch for now):
python3 -m venv .venv
. .venv/bin/activate
pip install git+https://github.com/tueda/img2braille.git@minimal-packaging
img2braille -h
I think this PR can be merged if @GideonBear agrees (I have marked it as "Draft" for now).
Hey @tueda, tbh I'm probably never going to continue with #7 😅, so do what you (and @TheFel0x) want I guess. If you need anything else from me lmk!
