They are no longer providing updated wheels for windows for newer python versions (>3.7). This updates snapcraft to use 5.3 instead, which is the current version and is being provided updated wheels for newer python versions.

I did some testing and i don't think you need to point to the wheels.

PyYAML==5.3 worked just fine for me with Windows and python3.8.

It installs, yes, but I had previously gotten errors when using snapcraft with the version being installed from pip complaining that it wasn't compiled with libyaml bindings; was that not the case for you?

I think snapcraft raised a RuntimeError of that sort when I accidentally installed the old version that way (or something like that, I'm pretty sure I noted the old version at the time?). I can try it again.

FWIW In my virtualenv I uninstalled pyyaml (re-)installed. Then re-built the subedit snap OK.

ah, it must be because 5.3 actually has the windows wheels in pip; I'll take those out then.
