PEP 621 compatible Python build?

[mxlei01]

libtorrent's pyproject.toml is missing version and name PEP-621 and this causes package managers such as uv for versions > 0.5.19 to fail.

If anybody uses uv and has boost-python installed, they can have a project pyproject.toml setup such as:

[project]
name = "test"
version = "0.1.0"
description = ""
readme = "README.md"
requires-python = ">=3.12"
dependencies = [
    "libtorrent @ git+https://github.com/arvidn/[email protected]#subdirectory=bindings/python"
]

Then the command uv sync will automatically build libtorrent based on this git url + version.

With how libtorrent pyproject.toml is setup it will cause the build to fail on uv.

Build fails: `pyproject.toml` is using the [project] table, but the required project.name field is not set

The solution is pretty simple adding these two lines in pyproject.toml:

name = "libtorrent"
version = "2.0.10.1"

Example via: https://github.com/mxlei01/libtorrent/blob/v2.0.10.1/pyproject.toml

Just raising a potential issue, but the workaround is pretty simple by forking and editing the file.
