How to run an installed python package from terminal

I have a python code like so

wallpaper/
   setup.py
   wallpaper/
      __init__.py
      environments.py
      run.py

JavaScript
​x
 
wallpaper/   setup.py   wallpaper/      __init__.py      environments.py      run.py​

The run.py has a function like so:

import environments

def main():
   .. do something()
if __name__=='__main__':
   main()

JavaScript
 
import environments​def main():   .. do something()if __name__=='__main__':   main()​

After installing this package how do I execute the run.py script on my terminal. I realize this question has been asked before but I wasn’t satisfied with that answer as it did not offer me any insight.

Answer

You want

python -m wallpaper.run

JavaScript
 
python -m wallpaper.run​

This relies on PYTHONPATH being set properly; you may need to restart your terminal if the package was just installed in a new directory.
