Research direction
Start by reading the Python package's setup.py and locating where code generation writes files under src; compare that behavior with how the cpp package builds. Check the linked pull request before starting, since it may already address the issue. Done means Python-generated code is stored in the build folder rather than the source folder.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Building a setup.py based setup results in code being generated in the source folder.
A cleaner approach would be probably to store this not in the src directory. This would also be more consistent with the way the cpp package is build.
Are there any non-obvious issues preventing this behavior?
