Root Cause

The project's build-system.requires in pyproject.toml does not include 'wheel', and the legacy build backend (setuptools.build_meta:__legacy__) cannot build a wheel without it.

generic

中文

项目的 pyproject.toml 中的 build-system.requires 未包含 'wheel'，而旧版构建后端（setuptools.build_meta:__legacy__）在没有它的情况下无法构建 wheel。

Workarounds

  1. 98% success 
    [build-system]\nrequires = ["setuptools>=61", "wheel"]\nbuild-backend = "setuptools.build_meta"
  2. 90% success 
    pip install --upgrade setuptools wheel && pip install mypackage

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. 85% fail

    Forces source build, which still needs wheel to produce the artifact for installation.

  2. 60% fail

    Uses the ambient environment's setuptools, which may also lack wheel.
