New description:
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 console_scripts entry_point in setup.py
to define commands.
For manage.py-tpl to support console_scripts entry_point we only need to
move the code from the if block into a new function ie. main(), then call
main() it in the if-block.
Then, manage.py-tlp will also work as console_scripts 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 defines a
console_scripts entry_point for the management CLI, without having to set
DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE.
