No module named 'torch'

I've tried to install scattermoe and get this error:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'torch'
      [end of output]

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
error: subprocess-exited-with-error

Torch is already installed in my environment. All libraries is up-to-date.

This looks like it might be some local configuration issues. Don't think I can help here without more context. Was this when running pip install -e .?

I've tried global python environment, venv and conda environment on Mac OS. All of them give this issue.

the problem is due to the unused import scattermoe in setup.py https://github.com/shawntan/scattermoe/blob/main/setup.py#L3

during pip install,setup.py imports scattermoe which leads to the following traceback because torch cannot be found at built time.

        File "/x/y/z/scattermoe/__init__.py", line 1, in <module>
          from . import kernels
        File "/x/y/z/scattermoe/kernels/__init__.py", line 1, in <module>
          from . import ops
        File "/x/y/z/scattermoe/kernels/ops.py", line 1, in <module>
          import torch
      ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'torch'

Removing https://github.com/shawntan/scattermoe/blob/main/setup.py#L3 fixes it for me

@shawntan would you consider removing the import scattermoe in setup.py https://github.com/shawntan/scattermoe/blob/main/setup.py#L3 ?
