gnu: python-ply: Remove python-wheel from native-inputs.
Notice from upstream from (2025-12-21):
After 25 years, I've decided to abandon the PLY project. No further
maintenance is expected. At this point, there are many high-quality
parsing libraries that you might consider using instead. Or you could
continue to use PLY by copying it into your project. Or you could
write a hand-rolled recursive descent parser. I don't really have a
specific recommendation (although writing a parser by hand can be a
fun challenge).
Based on above, python-ply should be considered as deprecation candidate
and any packages depending on needs to be checked and refreshed.
* gnu/packages/python-xyz.scm (python-ply):
[native-inputs]: Remove python-wheel.
