I also did not have the wheel package in my pip packages. Is that required? It looks like a packaging format.
It prevents pip from installing .sdist packages in the broken *legacy mode* (a.k.a. eggs/zipped eggs). Pip has since changed that behaviour so its need should become less prominent with time as people stop using versions of pip that predate that change. In this case, all packages were already in .whl format so removing wheel wouldn’t have done any harm. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "PyInstaller" group.
