error: Multiple top-level packages discovered in a flat-layout: ['core', 'plugins'].

[jhillis515]

While running "sudo python3 setup.py install" I get this error. Any help on how to fix it. It looks like a few other had this issue.

/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/setuptools/_distutils/dist.py:265: UserWarning: Unknown distribution option: 'console'
warnings.warn(msg)
error: Multiple top-level packages discovered in a flat-layout: ['core', 'plugins'].

To avoid accidental inclusion of unwanted files or directories,
setuptools will not proceed with this build.

If you are trying to create a single distribution with multiple packages
on purpose, you should not rely on automatic discovery.
Instead, consider the following options:

1. set up custom discovery (find directive with include or exclude)
2. use a src-layout
3. explicitly set py_modules or packages with a list of names

To find more information, look for "package discovery" on setuptools docs.
