Python setup.py - Command not being installed when running setup.py manually

Question

I have a pip package, and it installs a command line tool and so you can use it anywhere in the terminal like name args, but when i do manual installation with python setup.py install, it doesn't install that command, I can use the module inside the python script and import it, but I cannot use the command, my directory structure-

wand-cli
├── setup.py
├── wand
├── wandbox
│   ├── colorschemes
│   │     ...
│   ├── commands
│   │     ...
│   └── utilities
        ...

I am using this in setup.py, scripts=["wand"]
So what can I do to have the command installed on running setup.py manually?

Alright did a bit of research, thanks to python's docs, i just need to provide the user option

python setup.py install --user
