Why is python setup.py saying invalid command 'bdist_wheel' on Travis CI?
The error message "invalid command 'bdist_wheel'" occurs when the "bdist_wheel" module is not installed. This module is required to build wheel distributions, which are a newer format for distributing Python packages.
You can resolve this issue by installing the wheel package, which provides the "bdist_wheel" module. You can do this by adding the following line to your requirements.txt file:
wheel
Or you can install it via pip:
pip install wheel
You may also want to add this command to the install
step of your .travis.yml
file:
install: - pip install wheel
This will ensure that wheel is installed before the python setup.py
command is run.
