ERROR: Multiple top-level packages discovered in a flat-layout: ['gda', 'images'] #1

Description

@jc-umana-FI

Hello,

Attempting installation of the package through pip as shown in the README

pip3 install 'gda@git+https://github.com/Matematija/global-density-approximation.git'

yields the following error

  Getting requirements to build wheel ... error
  error: subprocess-exited-with-error
  
  × Getting requirements to build wheel did not run successfully.
  │ exit code: 1
  ╰─> [14 lines of output]
      error: Multiple top-level packages discovered in a flat-layout: ['gda', 'images'].
      
      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.

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

The issue may have to do with non-specificity in the pyproject.toml file, leading to attempted installation of multiple top-level py packages at once.

I thought the gda@git+ tag would have averted this. The error has been reproduced on multiple machines.
