minference package is not installable from sdist

[sushah13]

I wanted to bring to your attention that the minference package is not installable from sdist. This can be reproduced on any clean system (without pre-installed torch) that has Python, pip, and internet access by running:

pip install minference==0.1.5.post1

A recommended solution would be to migrate from setup.py to pyproject.toml and explicitly declare torch as a build requirement if it is indeed necessary for the build process.

This project has no wheels published on pypi.org. We found wheels on github and tried them out. However the wheels are also broken:
