When installing detectron2 with PEP 517-compliant tools like `uv` or `pip`, the build process fails due to `torch` not being available in the isolated build environment. This results in:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'torch'
This happens because `setup.py` imports `torch`, but torch isn't declared as a build dependency. Adding a `pyproject.toml` with `torch` listed under `[build-system].requires` ensures that torch is installed into the build environment before running `setup.py`, resolving the issue cleanly.
One solution is to have the user install torch before installing the package, but tools such as uv by default leverage build isolation.
On the developer's machine this might not be an issue, however in automated ci systems that expect standard uv installation behavior, this becomes problematic.
This fix makes the package compatible with modern Python packaging tools that enforce build isolation.

This resolves a build failure when installing
detectron2with PEP 517-compliant tools such asuvor modern versions ofpip.When using build isolation (the default for these tools), installation fails with the following error:
This is because
setup.pyimportstorch, buttorchis not declared as a build requirement. As a result, it is not available in the isolated build environment.This MR adds a
pyproject.tomldeclaringtorchunder[build-system].requires, ensuring it is installed prior to runningsetup.py.While installing
torchmanually before installingdetectron2is a workaround, that approach breaks standard installation flows (e.g.,uv pip install detectron2oruv pip install -e .) — especially in CI or production packaging pipelines.Related upstream issue: #5117
