Run a module without any functions

Issue

I’m writing a simple one-off script, without any functions, and I’d like to run it through Poetry, in its virtual environment. However, it appears this currently isn’t possible, as Poetry expects a callable:

https://github.com/sdispater/poetry/blob/af8f86cda703144e9261b700d3165433aa2d3603/poetry/console/commands/run.py#L35-L37

My Python is rusty, so maybe there’s a way around this (which makes it a documentation concern), but if there isn’t, I suggest adding a quick heuristic, checking for the presence of a colon, and just executing import_module('{}') instead of import_module('{}').{}() otherwise.

Have already done that, of course 😄 Not a fan of wasting horizontal space for nothing though. Just checking whether that PR covers my usecase before closing.

It allows you to specify not just entry points (python functions), but any script, by setting its path.

[tool.poetry.scripts]
main = { path = "main.py" }

~/project $ poetry run main

Edit: yes, this will make that script available when you install this package, but it will also be made available in your environment when you do poetry develop (because this just installs the package in editable mode).
