Descripción

In a non-bazel venv, distributions make executables available by putting them in `$venv/bin`, which gets added to PATH. In older versions of rules python, py_binary's were generated for these. It isn't obvious how to do similar in the latest versions.

I think the entry-points doc is the relevant part? https://rules-python.readthedocs.io/en/latest/pypi/use.html#entry-points

I suspect the term "entry point", while correct, is too jargon. In [this Slack post](https://bazelbuild.slack.com/archives/CA306CEV6/p1749710911117809), the user described it more in terms of "I want to run a binary from the package".

I'd suggest rephrasing the docs to be use-case oriented in the user's terms, e.g.

* I want to run a binary from a wheel in e.g. `genrule(cmd="$(location )")`
* I want to run a binary from a wheel from another program
* I want a binary to be available on PATH so I can run it like in a normal venv.

Maybe a table that maps non-bazel idioms to bazel idioms would be helpful?

Línea de trabajo

Start with the entry-points section of the rules-python documentation linked in the issue. Check how it currently explains binaries from wheels, then document the requested use cases: invoking a binary from a genrule, calling it from another program, and putting it on PATH, potentially with a table mapping non-Bazel idioms to Bazel ones.
