local install fails due to setup.py

[InCogNiTo124]

Steps to reproduce:

1. git clone [email protected]:harelba/q.git
2. cd q/
3. pip install -e .
4. cd ~
5. q
Traceback...
...
... No module named 'bin'

The solution is line setup.py:L28:

'q = bin.q:run_standalone' -> 'q = q:run_standalone'

Hi, there's some kind of misalignment there with relation to the fact of whether bin is a folder or a package.

I haven't solved it completely in the last release, as I was focusing on making the q standalone executable using pyoxidizer.

Can you describe the reasons you need it? Is it for actually using q on a machine, or is it for development purposes?

I was just trying alternative running options. The official ubuntu release seemed a bit outdated and I was reluctant to build my own dpkg from master so I tried cloning the repo and installing it locally. I don't need need it, but I stil felt I should report this

FWIW, just changing console_scripts to q = q:run_standalone isn't great. it works after installing, but then

$ pip3 uninstall q
Found existing installation: q 3.1.6
Uninstalling q-3.1.6:
  Would remove:
    /Users/raylu/venv/bin/q
    /Users/raylu/venv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/*
  Would not remove (might be manually added):
    /Users/raylu/venv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/_distutils_hack/__init__.py
    /Users/raylu/venv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/_distutils_hack/override.py

[a looong list of every single file in site-packages]

    /Users/raylu/venv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/zipp/glob.py
    /Users/raylu/venv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/zipp/py310compat.py
Proceed (Y/n)?

adding py_modules=['q'] is one way to fix uninstallation
