tests are installed into Python site-packages

[aknoerig]

After installing bitsandbytes, all of a sudden my own test imports (from tests import ...) started failing due to a naming confllict.

Turns out the bitsandbytes/tests folder accidentally gets installed into the root of my Python site-packages! Along with all the other package main folders, there's now a tests folder containing the bitsandbytes tests.

System Info

Ubuntu / conda 24.11.3 / pip 23.3.2

Reproduction

1. pip install bitsandbytes
2. you'll find the folder python3.10/site-packages/tests with the contents of bitsandbytes/tests

Tested for Python 3.10 with bitsandbytes 0.45.0 and 0.44.1

Expected behavior

The tests shouldn't be installed/copied at all during pip installation.

Thanks for the report! We definitely don't want the tests included in our wheels, so we'll have that taken care of soon!
