Description

@jhgoebbert

This is an error message that presumably started appearing in setuptools version 61.0.0 (setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/history.html#v61-0-0) in March 2022.

      error: Multiple top-level packages discovered in a flat-layout: ['cmake', 'symengine'].

      To avoid accidental inclusion of unwanted files or directories,
      setuptools will not proceed with this build.

      If you are trying to create a single distribution with multiple packages
      on purpose, you should not rely on automatic discovery.
      Instead, consider the following options:

      1. set up custom discovery (`find` directive with `include` or `exclude`)
      2. use a `src-layout`
      3. explicitly set `py_modules` or `packages` with a list of names

      To find more information, look for "package discovery" on setuptools docs.
      [end of output]

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
