Bug: simsimd-6.2.1-cp313-cp313-manylinux_2_28_x86_64.whl contains folder "simsimd." that is failed to be extracted in Linux under NTFS

[vsevolod-oparin]

Describe the bug

Hello, trying to install this package with uv --reinstall. It turns out, uv tries to extract whole whl file.
The archive contains "simsimd." folder with trailing dot. Such folder naming is prohibited on Ubuntu under NTFS (shared volume).
So it breaks installation flow.

Could you have a look and fix it?

Steps to reproduce

On NTFS volume:

mkdir reproduce && cd reproduce
uv venv --prompt reproduce --python 3.11  .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
uv pip install simsimd==6.2.1 --reinstall

I'm getting the following error, though I'd expect it to be installed

Resolved 1 package in 52ms
Prepared 1 package in 0.19ms
error: Failed to install: simsimd-6.2.1-cp311-cp311-manylinux_2_28_x86_64.whl (simsimd==6.2.1)
  Caused by: failed to create directory `/media/smileijp/NVMe/projects/invoke/reproduce/.venv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/simsimd.`: Invalid argument (os error 22)

Expected behavior

Interesting, will look into potential issues. In the meantime, if anyone else has an answer - I am all ears 🤗

[vsevolod-oparin]

@ashvardanian I bet the problem comes from here: https://github.com/ashvardanian/SimSIMD/blob/main/pyproject.toml#L60

If you check auditwheel, you can see they concatenate lib-sdir (default: .libs) to the name of the package. If you use dot, it will be a dot.

https://github.com/pypa/auditwheel/blob/3e4b6b3fdaf38f5da94d8212542fd7f6138c3b80/src/auditwheel/repair.py#L68

I'd assume if you'll remove "--lib-sdir .", it should fix a problem.

[ashvardanian]

Can be the case! I'm away from the PC now, but if you submit a PR, would be happy to merge it from the phone 🤗

[vsevolod-oparin]

I'm not sure I'll be able to build it quickly. Some issues with gcc and avx512fp16.

[ashvardanian]

You may want to upgrade GCC or disable AVX512FP16 through CMake options.
