ERROR: Could not build wheels for esim-py, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects

[Weihua-Wang]

When I build the python bindings for ESIM using /pip install rpg_vid2e/esim_py/ I met the following errors.

        provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been
        installed.
