This is a library, not a tool. The CLI is optional for testing the library. How would that conflict on a system level? ../Frenck |

Hi Frenck, Thanks for making this library, it is very useful. I made a Debian package of python-tailscale and included the CLI script. https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/python-tailscale My machine gave an error when I installed it on a machine using tailscale. I'll either modify the package to stop including the CLI or rename the CLI script shipped with the Debian package. Cheers, Edward |

Sorry, that is a problem of distrubtion in my opinion. It is 2026, you shouldn't be installing Python packages on a global scope on systems. |

Proposed Changes
Rename the optional CLI entry point from
tailscaletotailscale-api.The package currently installs a
tailscaleexecutable, which conflicts with the official Tailscale Linux client command of the same name. Using a distinct command name avoids shadowing, reduces user confusion, and makes it safer to install both tools on the same system.Related Issues
