Description

Currently the python bindings are "installed" by copying them to a pre-designated path. In python, the general pattern is to use setuptools, distutils or something similar to let python do this automatically.

In my forked library i made a commit https://github.com/odlgroup/STIR/commit/a9a6388865f0c532211c25abfe407ba8c1a265c3 that does exactly this. You can use it if you want.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the current Python binding installation entry point and the referenced STIR fork commit a9a6388865f0c532211c25abfe407ba8c1a265c3. Compare the existing copy-based process with the setuptools or distutils approach shown there. Done means the bindings install through Python's standard packaging workflow rather than requiring manual copying.
