Thanks for this. I had high hopes that this would solve things, but
unfortunately i'm seeing the same behaviour as before.

I've uploaded my new sdist, optest-1.0.20210326.2328.tar.gz, so one can
attempt to install it with:

    pip install -i https://test.pypi.org/simple optest


The six-1.15.0.tar.gz file you mention does install with pip-18.1, in
an interesting way - it fails at first before eventually succeeding by
running 'setup.py install':

    Processing ./six-1.15.0.tar.gz
    Building wheels for collected packages: six
      Running setup.py bdist_wheel for six ... error
      Complete output from command
    /home/jules/artifex-remote/pylocal/bin/python3 -u -c "import

    tokenize;__file__='/tmp/pip-req-build-naagtvzk/setup.py';f=getattr(tokenize,
    'open', open)(__file__);code=f.read().replace('\r\n',
    '\n');f.close();exec(compile(code, __file__, 'exec'))" bdist_wheel

    [cmd1 cmd2 ...] or: -c --help-commands or: -c cmd --help

      error: invalid command 'bdist_wheel'

      ----------------------------------------
      Failed building wheel for six
      Running setup.py clean for six
    Failed to build six
    Installing collected packages: six
      Running setup.py install for six ... done
    Successfully installed six-1.15.0


This is how i thought my sdist would install, so i guess i could try to
move my sdist to be similar to six-1.15.0.tar.gz, and things should
eventually start to work.


Thanks,
