fix: updates pydeck pyproject.toml to include dynamic field

[Lanceypantsy]

Closes #10047

Background

pydeck's pyproject.toml has a minimal [project] table (only name, version, requires-python) while all package metadata — description, readme, license, authors, keywords, classifiers, dependencies, optional-dependencies — is defined in setup.py. Modern setuptools requires that any field defined outside of pyproject.toml be explicitly declared in dynamic; without it, setuptools silently ignores those values.

The fatal error is specifically caused by readme not being listed as dynamic:
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get'

Because readme is not declared dynamic, setuptools passes None to its internal _long_description handler instead of the actual value from setup.py, which then crashes when it tries to call .get() on it.

After the updates, the wheel builds successfully:

pip wheel --no-build-isolation --no-deps ./bindings/pydeck

• updates pydeck pyproject.toml to include dynamic field

Note

Low Risk
Low risk: packaging-only change that affects how metadata is sourced during builds, with no runtime behavior impact.

Overview
Ensures pydeck builds correctly with modern setuptools by adding a dynamic list to bindings/pydeck/pyproject.toml, allowing metadata (e.g., readme, license, authors, and dependency fields) to be populated from setup.py instead of being ignored.

Missing description in dynamic field list

Medium Severity

The dynamic list is missing "description", even though setup.py defines description="Widget for deck.gl maps". Since description is neither statically declared in [project] nor listed in dynamic, modern setuptools will silently ignore it — the exact same class of bug this PR aims to fix for readme. The package metadata will have no description.

Missing urls in dynamic field list

Low Severity

The dynamic list is missing "urls", even though setup.py defines url="https://github.com/visgl/deck.gl/tree/master/bindings/pydeck". The url parameter in setup() maps to the urls metadata field in PEP 621. Without declaring it in dynamic, modern setuptools will silently drop the homepage URL from the package metadata, so PyPI will show no project URL.
