title: What scripts would go into a bin folder of a Python package?
body: <p>I'm learning about Python Packages from Learn Python the Hard Way and one of the exercises it says:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Put a script in the bin directory that you can run</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>To me, it seems kind of vague. I'm not exactly sure what kind of scripts would go into the bin folder. <a href="https://the-hitchhikers-guide-to-packaging.readthedocs.io/" rel="noreferrer">The Hitchhiker's Guide to Packaging</a> says </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>put into bin any scripts you’ve written that use your package and which you think would be useful for your users. If you don’t have any, then remove the bin directory.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>But I'm still left wondering what kind of script would go in there. So, I know its may sound like a dumb question, but can someone give me an example of when, and why one would put "a script" in their package's bin folder?</p>
