Fix missing toml extra

[ssbarnea]

Project packaging is using toml due to pyproject.toml but fails to mention it, causing installation failures with newer setuptools-scm 6.3.0

Fixes: #2449

Sigh, this past week has been terrible for our dependencies, hopefully this is the last mini-fire out of the bunch. Thank you for noticing and fixing! I'll try to push out a hotfix release later today containing both this fix and the other one for the OS native binaries.

Sounds like setuptools-scm made a new release (6.3.1) that makes this change unnecessary.

@JelleZijlstra While setuptools-scm made an emergency patch, I think that patch is needed. It only works because they happen to install toml themselves but that could change in the future.

@RonnyPfannschmidt WDYT about that, should we still fix it like that?

If you constraint greater than 6.3.0 and setuptools greater than 45 you can skip the extra,

[ichard26]

I'm going to play it safe and just keep the extra (although in addition to bumping both setuptools and setuptools-scm's minimum requirements to hopefully avoid significantly more broken build environments). I want to do a hotfix release today, and this should be good enough for now. We can always iterate later.

Would be possible to make the release that includes this change? It would allow us to avoid patching black (NixOS/nixpkgs#137617) in nixpkgs after updating setuptools_scm to 6.3.1.

@sveitser Sorry, I was planning to do a release but I simply just didn't have enough free time to be comfortable being the release manager. I've messaged the team asking if someone can pick it up but I can't promise anything as it's now out of my control :/

[ichard26]

@sveitser status update, Jelle has just finished the first half of the release process and now 21.9b0 should be up and working on PyPI.

That was fast. Thank you!
