Error while installing using pip: FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: './requirements/requirements.txt'

Hello,

As part of the Fedora package review, I was checking to see if I could install NEAT using pip. On Python 3.10, here, I run into this error:

$ pip install neatdend

It does not cause the installation to fail, however. The installation proceeds, and NEAT is installed in the virtualenv.
