Installing from source leaves .so files in root directory

When installing the package from source with pip install -e . (in a venv), the generated .so files for the different libjpeg versions end up in the root directory instead of libjpeg/cjpeglib.

This occurs on different machines:

  • my work laptop with Fedora 37 and Python 3.11.4
  • a testing server (you know which one) running Ubuntu 20.04 and python 3.8.10

Moving the files manually fixes the issue on both machines

Hey, thanks for the spot, I'll take look into it.

Until then, for local installation you can use

python setup.py sdist
python setup.py install

Now, dev contains the fix. In connection to this issue, I modified the package structure to clean up the root directory a bit.

The fix will be contained in the next release.
