Hi,

I am finalizing my packaging of the userspace tools for Debian. The 
major blocker to get this uploaded are the python bindings.
I ran into the following issues:
- The install path is hardcoded to 
/usr/local/lib/python3.12/dist-packages; this should be 
/usr/lib/$(pythonversion)/distpackages
- setuptools is deprecated:

running install
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/setuptools/_distutils/cmd.py:66: 
SetuptoolsDeprecationWarning: setup.py install is deprecated.
!!

********************************************************************************
         Please avoid running ``setup.py`` directly.
         Instead, use pypa/build, pypa/installer or other
         standards-based tools.

         See 
https://blog.ganssle.io/articles/2021/10/setup-py-deprecated.html for 
details.
********************************************************************************

!!

Attached you can find a patch that converts the userspace tools to use 
pyproject.toml. This does not work (yet), since
pyproject can't deal with a header that is not in the same directory as 
the project root:
https://discuss.python.org/t/include-header-above-project-root/102221/3
None of the solutions for this are nice; IMO the best would be to 
symlink/copy Gpib.h to the language/python subdirectory.
Alternatively, the whole build process could be implemented in make, 
however that is not ideal and I'd like to avoid that.
I'd like to ask for guidance what the project prefers; the current 
setuptools approach will break sooner or later (it's already deprecated).
