Description: # `install_binaries` - install executable programs in bin/
        
        `install_binaries` is a tool to help you create wrappers around
        executable files.  It ensures that they're installed in a reasonable
        directory, and that they have their +x bit set.  It should work fine
        with old versions of pip and setuptools, and with Python 2.7 and up.
        It should work with both `sdist` and `bdist_wheel` packages.
        
        To use it, you have to do two things.  First, you need to add two lines
        to your `setup.py`:
        
        ```
        setup(
        	name="my_cool_app",
        	...
        	setup_requires=['install_binaries'],
        	install_binaries=['my-binary', 'build/other-one'],
        )
        ```
        
        This will install both `my-binary` and `other-one` to
        `.../my-virtualenv/bin` when your package is installed.
        
        Second, you need to make sure your binary is included in your
        `MANIFEST.in` file.  So that might look like:
        
        ```
        include requirements.txt
        include VERSION
        include my-binary
        include build/other-one
        ```
        
        If it's left out, it won't be included in the package that `python
        setup.py sdist` creates.
        
        ## Known limitations
        
        If your package gets installed as an egg, by using `easy_install` or
        `setup.py install`, the `install_binaries` code never gets called, so we
        have no chance to install the binaries.  There may be a way around this,
        but I haven't found it.  `install_binaries` attempts to warn the user in
        this situation.
