β¨ NAME β¨
fastep β bestie, this is the little glow-up potion that adjusts ur python project so it uses fastentrypoints π
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
fastep [dir1] [dir2] [...]
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
okay so here's the tea, fr fr: fastep goes into ur project and makes sure that fastentrypoints is included in MANIFEST.in and present in setup.py. that's literally its whole job and it eats every time π
now, why do we even care?? bc using entry_points in ur setup.py makes ur scripts start SO slowly π like, embarrassingly slowly. and why? bc it imports pkg_resources, which is a genuinely horrible thing to do if u want ur trivial little script to execute more or less instantly. it's giving chaos, it's giving delay, it's giving not the vibe π
fastentrypoints makes the entry_points specified in setup.py load more quickly. periodt. faster load, happier bestie, main character energy only π
