Hi,
just subscribed here for other reasons and stumbled across this, but
since I know about Python packaging:
The "right way" (in as, understood and common to the Python community)
to distribute Python scripts that are supposed to be installed and run
from command line is to first package up the Python stuff as a proper
Python package and then follow
http://python-packaging.readthedocs.io/en/latest/command-line-scripts.html#the-console-scripts-entry-point
For example
https://github.com/crossbario/crossbar/blob/master/setup.py#L98
This will install a proper wrapper with no extension. It will also allow
to use the Python stuff from Python by mere importing the wrapped function.

which crossbar
/home/oberstet/python/cpy3_1/bin/crossbar
(cpy3_1) oberstet@thinkpad-t430s:~/scm/crossbario/crossbario-organize$
cat `which crossbar`
#!/home/oberstet/python/cpy3_1/bin/python3
# EASY-INSTALL-ENTRY-SCRIPT: 'crossbar','console_scripts','crossbar'
__requires__ = 'crossbar'
import re
import sys
from pkg_resources import load_entry_point
if __name__ == '__main__':
sys.argv[0] = re.sub(r'(-script\.pyw?|\.exe)?$', '', sys.argv[0])
sys.exit(
load_entry_point('crossbar', 'console_scripts', 'crossbar')()
)

Cheers,
/Tobias
PS: Also, please consider publishing the Python package to PyPI too (eg
for people that find distro packages annoying, eg because they use
virtualenv or what)
