Wrong directory structure for generated wheels #59

Open SylvainCorlay opened 4 years ago

SylvainCorlay commented 4 years ago

Installing the wheels produced by conda-press for the package xeus-python places the content in surprising directory.

For example on Linux, the xpython executable which is normally in PREFIX/bin is placed into

PREFIX/lib/python3.7/site-packages/bin/xpython

etc...

A problem with this location is that xpython links with libpython, which is not found in the correct relative path with respect to this installed location.

This is de-pressing :smile:

Would it make sense to use data files instead to install non-python artefacts in an absolute fashion w.r.t. sys.prefix.
