"Can't have direct dependency" when adding `whisper-jax` as a dependency in PyPI release

[IbraheemTuffaha]

We are developing a python package that uses whisper and whisper-jax to generate transcripts of videos. https://github.com/ieasybooks/tafrigh/blob/4aece79a3c897416d16310b4f4e613ccd48b424e/pyproject.toml#L37

We are planning to release our package to PyPI, but we faced an issue with whisper-jax https://github.com/ieasybooks/tafrigh/actions/runs/5806087541/job/15738290629

The error states:

ERROR    HTTPError: 400 Bad Request from https://upload.pypi.org/legacy/        
         Invalid value for requires_dist. Error: Can't have direct dependency:  
         "whisper-jax @ git+https://github.com/sanchit-gandhi/whisper-jax.git ; 
         extra == 'whisper'"

One way to fix this issue is to have a proper release pipeline into PyPI whenever a significant feature is added. The easiest way to do this is through GitHub Actions for PyPI release. It makes it easy, such that you only create a tag, then a release from the tag. and an automatic job from GitHub Actions will trigger the release and publish the newer version on PyPI.

To do this, you just add an Action file like this named release.yml in .github/workflows/ folder: https://github.com/ieasybooks/tafrigh/blob/bd1aad168f50b63651b522ec1cecf16f9976f708/.github/workflows/release.yml

Then create a project on PyPI and follow these steps to add a trusted publisher for the workflow defined above: https://docs.pypi.org/trusted-publishers/adding-a-publisher/ Note: I left Environment name empty for my project because I don't use it.

After that, whenever you create a release on GitHub, it will trigger a job to take the code and builds a package and publishes it on PyPI. Remember to update the version of your package, in your case it's specified in setup.py
