  17. Entry points are a way for Python packages to advertise objects with some
  18. common interface. The most common examples are ``console_scripts`` entry points,
  19. which define shell commands by identifying a Python function to run.
  20. *Groups* of entry points, such as ``console_scripts``, point to objects with
  21. similar interfaces. An application might use a group to find its plugins, or
  22. multiple groups if it has different kinds of plugins.
  23. The **entrypoints** module contains functions to find and load entry points.
  24. You can install it from PyPI with ``pip install entrypoints``.
  25. To advertise entry points when distributing a package, see
  26. `entry_points in the Python Packaging User Guide
  27. <https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/distributing.html#entry-points>`_.
