Why are there two ways: "script" vs "console_scripts entry-point"?
Because Distutils implements only ‘scripts’, and that's not capable
enough for what people need so Setuptools implements entry points.
In other words: One of them is in the standard library and does
something; the other is third-party and can do more.
That answers why there are two. But maybe you wanted to ask some
underlying question?
The underlaying question is: Imangine you are a newcomer. And there
are two more choices. You need a guide like 'if unsure do x'. With
other words: What is the sane default choice?
Chris wrote "Simple: `scripts` are legacy."
You say it is the standard, and console_scripts is from a third party.
For me "legacy" sound like "don't go this old way".
For me "third party" sounds like "don't go this way, stick to the standard".
I feel stupid since I have no clue.
