Installation Guide References triton/python, but setup.py & pyproject.toml Are at Project Root

[BuchaCero]

I’m following the Getting Started → Installation guide, which says to run:

cd triton/python
pip install -e .

However, in the triton repository on GitHub, both setup.py and pyproject.toml now live in the repository root, not under python/. Because of this, pip install -e . fails when run from triton/python.

ERROR: file:///home/charlie/workspace/triton/python does not appear to be a Python project: neither 'setup.py' nor 'pyproject.toml' found.

For comparison, I noticed that in the triton-cpu repository, the python/ directory does include those files, so the tutorial command works there.

Could you please clarify:

Is it intentional that the Python package metadata has been moved to the repo root?

Should the installation docs be updated to use pip install -e . from the root instead of triton/python?

Or is there another recommended way to install from source now?

Thank you for any guidance! Looking forward to your advice.

Since Triton 3.4, you need to build from the project root, see #6381 . This is merged in the main branch and the README but not released in the public docs.
