IMPR: `src` layout

[d-v-b]

Improvement Request

Move source code under the src prefix. I.e., instead of the source code being stored in datajoint , the source code would be stored in src/datajoint.

This is consistent with current best practices for python packaging because it ensures that tests do not accidentally pull in resources other than the built version of the software being tested.

Resolved in DataJoint 2.0

The source code has been moved to the src layout as requested.

Current Structure

datajoint-python/
├── src/
│   └── datajoint/        # All source code
│       ├── __init__.py
│       ├── table.py
│       ├── expression.py
│       └── ...
├── tests/                 # Tests are separate from source
│   ├── unit/
│   └── integration/
└── pyproject.toml

pyproject.toml Configuration

[tool.setuptools]
packages = ["datajoint"]
package-dir = {"" = "src"}

This follows Python packaging best practices and ensures tests run against the installed package, not the local source directory.
