# fastep(1)

Adjust python project to use fastentrypoints

## NAME

**fastep** - Adjust python project to use fastentrypoints

## SYNOPSIS

```
fastep [dir1] [dir2] [...]
```

## DESCRIPTION

**fastep will make sure fastentrypoints is included in MANIFEST.in and present** **in setup.py.**

**Using entry\_points in your setup.py makes scripts that start really slowly** **because it imports pkg\_resources, which is a horrible thing to do if you** **want your trivial script to execute more or less instantly.**

**fastentrypoints make entry\_points specified in setup.py load more quickly.**
