Issues installing Scipy

[MishalJasmine]

I installed Scipy using the command sudo apt-get install python-numpy python-scipy and looks like the latest version of both are installed. But when I try to install a python package named wfdb using pip install wfdb, it get an error while Building wheel for scipy (PEP 517).

ERROR: Failed building wheel for scipy
Running setup.py clean for scipy
ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1:

Complete output (9 lines):

`setup.py clean` is not supported, use one of the following instead:

 - `git clean -xdf` (cleans all files)
 - `git clean -Xdf` (cleans all versioned files, doesn't touch
                    files that aren't checked into the git repo)

 Add `--force` to your command to use it anyway if you must (unsupported).

 ERROR: Failed cleaning build dir for scipy
 Failed to build scipy
 ERROR: Could not build wheels for scipy which use PEP 517 and cannot be installed directly`

I upgraded pip using pip install --upgrade pip.
python version used: 3.7
Operating System: Raspbian
Can I get some help on this?

What is happening is that pip used build isolation to build a wheel for wfdb; it wants to install every dependency in that clean isolated env just for the wheel build. And there's no SciPy wheel for your platform, so a source build is attempted. Use pip install --no-build-isolation wfdb to avoid this.
