-m entry point

[tonybaloney]

I'm trying to configure pip-audit to run automatically for my project.

I have to run pip audit via python -m pip_audit, but there is no module entry point.

Please could one be added? IT looks like it would just run _cli:audit,

Happy to raise a PR if you agree this is useful.

Yeah, I think we can do that.

Just out of curiosity: is there a reason why you can't run the pip-audit console entrypoint directly?

We should definitely do this, and also encourage using $ python -m pip-audit instead of $ pip-audit in our docs and examples.

I'm configuring this as a task in VS Code that runs whenever a project is opened, so you have to get the python interpreter from a variable and the venv isn't activated.

.vscode/tasks.json will look like this--

{
    "version": "2.0.0",
    "tasks": [
        {
            "label": "Pip Audit",
            "type": "shell",
            "command": "${command:python.interpreterPath}",
            "args": ["-m", "pip-audit"],
            "isBackground": true,
            "group": "none",
            "runOptions": {
                "runOn": "folderOpen",
            },
        },
    ]
}

@tonybaloney Done with #173!

This should work for you now, assuming you install from GitHub:

python -m pip_audit [args...]

And we'll cut a release with that soon, as well.
