Currently, manage.py-tpl executes in an
{{{
if __name__ == '__main__':
}}}
block.
While this might work when declaring manage.py as script in setup.py, a
popular convention is to use the entry_point feature of setup.py.
To add support for entry_point in manage.py-tpl we only need to move the
code from the if block into a new function ie. main() and call in it in
the if-block.
Then, manage.py-tlp will also work as entry_point with
yourproject.manage:main and using manage.py as script will also still
work.
This removes a manual effort every time a project is used by a follower of
the entry_point convention, without causing any issue for regular users.
