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

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.

Which version are you using?
Can you try the git master version?
I like to stick with a release version, so I added the patch to our easybuild config file and pushed it to production.
Anyway, I cannot see any fix in setup.py since the release of 0.9.2 in the history : https://github.com/symengine/symengine.py/blame/master/setup.py 🤔
I'll release a new version soon
Cool, great. Thank you
Just released a new version.
