Publish a new release on PyPi

[orf]

Hello, Is it possible to publish a new release on PyPi? There are a lot of good changes that would benefit the wider Python ecosystem who are using Watchman.

The current release is very old.

I've built and published a new unofficial version of pywatchman to pypi as using the Django StatReloader was really starting to get frustrating.

I've only tested this on an M1 Mac for the moment, but have requested linux and intel mac folk from work to give it a play too. I'll be happy to publish any fixes related to those platforms but do not plan to maintain this fork ongoing.

I'm hoping that demonstrating the fixes required to get this building and publishing may spur some renewed interest in the folks from facebook/meta in maintaining the library.

See #970 for the previous conversation on the Python 31.0 compatiblity, including a response from a developer at Facebook on Twitter: https://github.com/facebook/watchman/issues/970#issuecomment-1158844586

I've yanked 1.5.0 because the src distribution is broken since it expects the parent watchman directory to exist. I guess this is one of the main factors for not being able to release an official version, as the parent directory check is really only there as an attempt to build on windows clients (see https://twitter.com/fanzeyi/status/1537369006713217025 that Adam alluded to above)

Any updates on this?

Please publish a new release, because the current version 1.4.1 is broken for Python 3: https://github.com/facebook/watchman/issues/631#issuecomment-1528698244

EDIT: I didn't realize that the issues with the old release were widely known (#970), my bad.
