FORM from PyPI

[tueda]

Currently, pip install form-bin installs a wrapper script named form, but the wrapper actually invokes tform (a stripped binary):

$ form -v  # (a)
TFORM 5.0.0 (Jan 27 2026, v5.0.0)

$ tform -v  # (b)
bash: tform: command not found

$ python3 -m form_bin -v  # (c)
TFORM 5.0.0 (Jan 27 2026, v5.0.0)

$ python3 -c '__import__("form_bin").form("-v")'  # (d)
TFORM 5.0.0 (Jan 27 2026, v5.0.0)

$ uvx form-bin -v  # (e)
TFORM 5.0.0 (Jan 27 2026, v5.0.0)

For the current implementation, see form-dev/form-pypi.

I'm wondering whether this is the best approach. Possible options include:

1. Keep the current behaviour. Use tform for (a) and (c)-(e). (b) results in an error.
2. Install both the form and tform binaries. Use form for (a) and (c)-(e). Use tform for (b).
3. Install both the form and tform binaries. For (a)-(e), automatically choose between form and tform depending on whether -wN is passed as a command-line argument.

The function name in (d) could perhaps be run rather than form.

Any thoughts?
