pip install dicttoxml --prefix foo  

Installed directory tree

foo/
└── lib/
   └── python3.9/

If I roll back to Python 3.7.3 (but with the same pip version 22.2.2), and run pip install dicttoxml --prefix foo, the installation looks correct:

foo/
└── lib/
   └── python3.7/
      └── site-packages/
         ├── __pycache__/
         │  └── dicttoxml.cpython-37.pyc
         ├── dicttoxml-1.7.4.dist-info/

I have upgraded to version 1.7.8. Can you please try to see if you are still having this issue? I was not able to reproduce it.

I haven't heard any more on this and wasn't able to reproduce the error so I'm closing the issue.

@quandyfactory I am sorry for not replying to this when you fixed this.

I confirm that I see the dicttoxml.py getting installed with dicttoxml v1.7.16, python 3.9.7 and pip 22.3.1. Now, upon running pip install dicttoxml --prefix foo, I get:

foo/lib/python3.9/site-packages/
├── __pycache__/
│  └── dicttoxml.cpython-39.pyc
├── dicttoxml-1.7.16.dist-info/
│  ├── INSTALLER
│  ├── LICENCE.txt
│  ├── METADATA
│  ├── RECORD
│  ├── REQUESTED
│  ├── WHEEL
│  └── top_level.txt
└── dicttoxml.py

Excellent, thank you for confirming it is resolved - and thanks again for taking the time to report the issue in the first place.
