Root Cause

The `wheel` package is not installed in the build environment, so setuptools does not register the `bdist_wheel` command used to build wheels.

generic

中文

构建环境中未安装 `wheel` 包，因此 setuptools 未注册用于构建 wheel 的 `bdist_wheel` 命令。

Workarounds

  1. 95% success 
    Install wheel into the build environment: `pip install wheel` (or `pip install --upgrade setuptools wheel`), then retry the build.
  2. 90% success 
    Use `python -m build` which manages build dependencies via pyproject.toml's `[build-system] requires`.

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. 70% fail

    Bypasses the wheel build but installs an unmanaged egg and often fails on modern pip/setuptools.

  2. 75% fail

    Still requires bdist_wheel and does not install the missing wheel package.
