@adriansev : thanks for reporting this issue! I managed to reproduce it and although bdist_wheel indeed failed the overall process was successful. The bdist_wheel step is in fact non-operation and it is failing only because there is a wheel.bdist_wheel and distutils.command.bdist mismatch. Fixed in: c0849fe
