bug: The wheel is invalid: invalid console script: 'main' - clippyx-0.1-py3-none-any.whl #19

Description

Neat project!

When trying to install following the readme, Python errors out stating the wheel is invalid:

[main] ~/git/CLIPPyX $ uv venv; source .venv/bin/activate
Using Python 3.12.7 interpreter at: /Users/samm/.pyenv/versions/3.12.7/bin/python3
Creating virtualenv at: .venv

(CLIPPyX) [main] ~/git/CLIPPyX $ pip install -e . -U
using uv for pip...

  Caused by: The wheel is invalid: invalid console script: 'main'

Interestingly running python setup.py install works, but then running the app crashes with:

CLIPPyX --settings
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/samm/git/CLIPPyX/.venv/bin/CLIPPyX", line 33, in <module>

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'main'

And installing directly without a venv also fails:

ERROR: For req: CLIPPyX==0.1. Invalid script entry point: <ExportEntry CLIPPyX = main:None []> - A callable suffix is required. Cf https://packaging.python.org/specifications/entry-points/#use-for-scripts for more information.
