After uploading the files to test.pypi.org. Installing via pip show the files under home dir.

~/.local/bin/dduper
~/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/dduper-0.04.dist-info/*
~/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/usr/sbin/btrfs.static

Only one issue above, I'd like to see btrfs.static installed on /usr/sbin/btrfs.static not under ~/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/usr/sbin/btrfs.static

"Only one issue above, I'd like to see btrfs.static installed on /usr/sbin/btrfs.static not under ~/.local/lib/python3.8/site- packages/usr/sbin/btrfs.static"

That is most likely related to how you install the package rather than how you publish it. IOW, unless you are installing system-wide from the root account nothing will end up under /usr/sbin.

You could consider natively interfacing with btrfs-progs code and ship the entire thing as a native Python module, here's a project of mine for example
