Solve Issue #561. error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'script…

When you try to install the python SDK by following these steps:

git clone https://github.com/intelligencex/sdk
cd sdk/Python
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
pip3 install .

You get the following error:
#0 46.86 Building wheels for collected packages: intelx

This is solved by modifying the pyproject.toml file updating the reference to the correct path cli/intelx.py

https://github.com/IntelligenceX/Python/tree/main/scripts was renamed to scripts from cli due to the scripts keyword from the prior setup.py

This is resolved with git mv cli scripts

Sorry, but in the https://github.com/intelligencex/sdk/Python repo the cli folder appears.

https://github.com/IntelligenceX/SDK/tree/cmlh-Identity/Python/scripts represents what was to be merged back into SDK after rejecting the Git Submodule.

There is no PEP which mandates the name for the script directory so bin is also common.

Thank you very much @cmlh,
Sorry but my Python knowledge is limited and I didn't understand your answer.
I will change our application to clone the Python repository, instead of SDK so that the error is fixed during the build.

Sorry I forgot to add and credit to @Kleissner for pointing this out to me sometime ago, we avoided bin and hence renaming the script to intelx, i.e. removing the .py file extension, would be difficult for an end user to determine at face value if intelx was a binary file or a Python script.
