Add pyproject.toml to comply with PEP-518

[cfculhane]

Adds pyproject.toml to comply with PEP-518, which fixes the building of the library by poetry - See https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry/issues/6113 . This is a copy of https://github.com/facebookresearch/fastText/pull/1270 , but I have signed the CLA.

@cfculhane haha good job, sorry for being unresponsive :+1:

[Kavan72]

Any update here guys? :smiley:

[cdpierse]

Update on this would be great, the latest poetry update 1.2.0 is causing the package to break our unit tests as pybind11 is not getting built due to the introduction of this flag (--use-pep517) in poetry.

The installation seems to work fine. Made a test with this small pyproject.toml:

[tool.poetry]
name = "poetry-fasttext"
version = "0.0.0"
description = "Debug FastText install with poetry 1.2.0"
authors = ["Frédéric Laudarin"]
readme = "README.md"
packages = [{include = "poetry_fasttext"}]

[tool.poetry.dependencies]
python = "^3.9"
fasttext = {git = "https://github.com/cfculhane/fastText.git"}

[build-system]
requires = ["poetry-core"]
build-backend = "poetry.core.masonry.api"

@dmitryvinn would it be possible to expedite this PR, as it's causing headaches in a lot of usecases for fasttext?

@dmitryvinn would it be possible to expedite this PR, thanks!

[FinnWoelm]

Temporary workaround until this gets merged: poetry add git+https://github.com/cfculhane/fastText

[aitorres]

Hi! I'd also benefit from this PR being expedited, thanks!

[cjuracek]

@dmitryvinn +1 for an expedited PR, this would be greatly appreciated!

[georgeseifada]

+1 for this PR! 🙏

Fasttext is dead, someone should take ownership

[grainnemcknight]

Plus 1 for this. Does not work with poetry 1.3.2

Temporary workaround until this gets merged: poetry add git+https://github.com/cfculhane/fastText

Looks like there's no master branch of on the repo at https://github.com/cfculhane/fastText (master is the default that poetry tries to use), so I had to install it by specifying the main branch:

poetry add git+https://github.com/cfculhane/fastText#main

But yes, obviously would be nice to have this merged directly into the official repo

[vrdn-23]

If the changes are approved, can we merge this already?

[KeshavSingh29]

Can we have some update on why Fasttext upgrade to include pep517 is so slow?
