NOTE: the solution was to update my version of wheels using this command:
pip install -U pip wheel setuptools
The original question
I am trying to make a wheel in python3, so I followed this tutorial:
https://medium.com/swlh/beginners-guide-to-create-python-wheel-7d45f8350a94
However, when I ran the command python3 setup.py bdist_wheel I got this error:
usage: setup.py [global_opts] cmd1 [cmd1_opts] [cmd2 [cmd2_opts] ...]
or: setup.py --help [cmd1 cmd2 ...]
or: setup.py --help-commands
or: setup.py cmd --help
error: invalid command 'bdist_wheel'
I then checked out this answer on stack overflow:
How to fix `error: invalid command 'bdist_wheel'`?
and tried re-installing wheel like so: pip3 install wheel, however I got this message:
DEPRECATION: Configuring installation scheme with distutils config files is deprecated and will no longer work in the near future. If you are using a Homebrew or Linuxbrew Python, please see discussion at https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/issues/76621
Requirement already satisfied: wheel in /usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages (0.37.0)
I tried running python3 setup.py bdist_wheel again, however it still gave the same error, so I then checked the page: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/issues/76621 that the above message recommended to me, however it told me there is nothing for me to do at this time:
If you have been directed here from a pip warning, you don't need to take any action at this stage. Nothing is currently expected to break until Python 3.12, and a full solution will be implemented well before then.
At this point, I am unsure where to go next to resolve my problem. To be clear, my goal is to make a python3 wheel. At the moment, I want in particular to make a wheel for PyPDF4: https://github.com/claird/PyPDF4, however I would more generally like to be able to make wheels for any package, and the problem I am having doesn't seem to have anything to do with this particular package, so this additional information should be unnecessary.
In case this is relevant, I am on macos monterey 12.0.1
Regarding venv:
I created a virtualenv with this command: virtualenv . and then activated it with source bin/activate. I then ran python3 setup.py bdist_wheel to see if I could use the original command suggested to me in the tutorial, however again, I got the same error as is given at the top of this post. So it seems to me that making a venv doesn't fix the problem.
Installing wheel into the venv
Here is the result of my attempt to install wheel into the virtual environment prior to building the wheel. As can be seen below, it also doesn't work

Small note
#Pavel Hamerník, Thanks for all the help so far. If you're tired of dealing with this question, just say so and I'll accept your answer as is. I have successfully accomplished my goal of making a wheel, so at this point I am simply pursuing this in an attempt to make a more complete post here on stackoverflow. If you feel similarly to me that this is worth while, then we should continue working to find out what exactly the problem is. Thanks again

I ran pip3 install -U pip wheel setuptools and got this message:

The question was answered in the comments. The solution was to use pip wheel . -w dist, or to create a virtual environment.
My best guess is you have some problems with your system packages. Maybe multiple versions of python3. Your pip3 command could point to another version of python3 that's why it probably failed.
pip wheel creates a temporary virtual environment where it builds the wheel. It copies all files to the temp directory, so if you have a lot of files it can be slower then the build.
I would suggest always creating a virtual environment for new projects. You'll have then isolated environment so you can have different package versions for different projects.
Edit:
According to the update of the question and latest comments I think your wheel or setuptools wasn't up-to-date. Even the tutorial you linked has this mentioned with a large font.
Ensure pip, setuptools and wheel packages are up to date
https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/tutorials/installing-packages/#ensure-pip-setuptools-and-wheel-are-up-to-date
Which was done with pip install -U pip wheel setuptools and after that you mentioned that the building now works.
As said before pip wheel setups the virtual environment with the latest packages, so there wasn't a problem using it. If you look on verbose output of pip wheel it uses setup.py bdist_wheel internally but wraps the command so it builds in an isolated environment.
I can see that the installation guide:
https://docs.cupy.dev/en/stable/install.html
is quite outdated and a note on the Github release page of v9.0.0a2:
https://github.com/cupy/cupy/releases/tag/v9.0.0a2
states that the older version supporting CUDA v11.1 did not work in the first place and all wheels have been removed from PyPi as a response. Trying to install CuPy with an updated pip, none of the wheels are back up. Is there still a version (for any CUDA version for that matter) that works on Windows then? Can I build the newer v9.0.0b1 on Windows from source maybe?

I got the solution for the same issue from this Stackoverflow earlier(couple of months back) but I forgot it.
The solution should be like this: download the wrapt package from GitHub and placed the same in c: drive \ user profile location \wrapt.
while installing the tensorflow package, wrapt obstructing it
pip install tensorflow
error while installing the tensorflow
Installing collected packages: wrapt, tensorflow
Found existing installation: wrapt 1.10.11
ERROR: Cannot uninstall 'wrapt'. It is a distutils installed project and thus we cannot accurately determine which files belong to it which would lead to only a partial uninstall.
In your case, you can either uninstall and reinstall wrap or simply upgrade.
first uninstall wrapt:
pip uninstall wrapt
Then reinstall:
pip install wrapt
Or simply (then you don't have to install and uninstall):
pip install wrapt --upgrade --ignore-installed
Then:
pip install tensorflow
I want to upgrade ply so I'm running -
pip install ply --upgrade
and I get the error (marked with **) -
Collecting ply

**Cannot uninstall 'ply'. It is a distutils installed project and thus we cannot accurately determine which files belong to it which would lead to only a partial uninstall.**
You are using pip version 10.0.1, however version 18.0 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'python -m pip install --upgrade pip' command.
How do I solve this?
I’m new to python and I got some problem when trying to install QISKit.
First, I was using pip install qiskit on cmd, but it showed an error
numpy.distutils.system_info.NotFoundError: no lapack/blas resources found
I searched on internet and pip install scipy separately. It worked
Collecting scipy
Using cached scipy-1.0.0-cp36-none-win32.whl
Requirement already satisfied: numpy>=1.8.2 in
d:\programming\python\lib\site-packages (from scipy)
Installing collected packages: scipy
Successfully installed scipy-1.0.0
Then I tried pip install qiskit again. It showed an error:
Found existing installation: scipy 1.0.0
Uninstalling scipy-1.0.0:
Successfully uninstalled scipy-1.0.0
Running setup.py install for scipy ... error
……
numpy.distutils.system_info.NotFoundError: no lapack/blas resources found
----------------------------------------
Rolling back uninstall of scipy
So I used the second way:
git clone https://github.com/QISKit/qiskit-sdk-py
cd qiskit-sdk-py
then
pip install -r requirements.txt
again
Installing collected packages: scipy, sympy
Found existing installation: scipy 1.0.0
Uninstalling scipy-1.0.0:

Running setup.py install for scipy ... error
……
numpy.distutils.system_info.NotFoundError: no lapack/blas resources found
----------------------------------------
Rolling back uninstall of scipy
how can I solve this and add QISKit to python lib?
reference:
https://github.com/QISKit/qiskit-sdk-py/blob/master/doc/install.rst#3.1-Setup-the-environment
Installing scipy, at least the version currently required by QISKit, on Windows requires that you have a couple of different compilers installed, which you probably don't. I recommend you install Anaconda. If you download the full Anaconda package, it includes the appropriate scipy binary, or alternatively you can do conda install scipy=0.19 before you do pip install qiskit.
I think that should fix your current issue but feel free to reach out with any others -- I'll be happy to help. You can also find more documentation at qiskit.org, github.com/QISKit/qiskit-sdk-py, and on the IBM Q experience community forums.
Cheers,
Doug
