The ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR} directory contains the compiled account.cpython-36m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so Python module built using pybind11, but note that its name depends on the operating system (in this case, 64-bit Linux) and the Python environment (in this case, Python 3.6).

But now we have two challenges when installing the module:
- The naming can change.
- The path is set outside of CMake.
We can solve this by using the following install target, where setup.py will define the install target location:
install( TARGETS account LIBRARY ...
