Package: python3-fastentrypoints Architecture: all Depends: python3-setuptools, ${misc:Depends}, ${python3:Depends} Suggests: fastep Description: Make entry_points specified in setup.py load more quickly 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 aims to fix that bypassing pkg_resources, making scripts load a lot faster.
