Non-standard function signature for get_requires_for_build_wheel()

[troycurtisjr]

The function signature for get_requires_for_build_wheel() in _custom_build/backend.py has "self" as the first parameter, however PEP 517 lists it only with config_settings. The setuptools.build_meta.get_requires_for_build_wheel original implementation that this function "overrides" is actually a bound method, and thus doesn't take the self parameter.

It seems like that function is being used somewhere, since it seems to be getting updates, but I haven't tracked it down exactly where that is.

It appears you are correct. I opened a PR in setuptools to fix the corresponding documentation and will fix this in my build backend.

I fixed this in 8eadc37. @troycurtisjr do you need a new release with this fix?

[troycurtisjr]

A new release would be great, but I can just apply a patch for now until a new release naturally happens.

[maxbachmann]

I created a new release with the fix. It will be available once the CI is finished (usually takes 2-3 hours)
