Missing python-wheel installation dependency #124

Closed hackel closed 7 years ago

hackel commented 8 years ago

I attempted to install aws-shell (on Ubuntu 16.04), and got a bunch of errors: invalid command 'bdist_wheel'. Installing python-wheel resolved them. This should be added to the documentation at least, if not explicitly added as a dependency.

What version of pip are you using?

We don't upload any .whl files for the aws-shell, so I'm not sure why this error is occurring. As far as I know we shouldn't have a dependency on wheels.

This was using the Ubuntu python-pip 8.1.1-2ubuntu0.1 package. Here is the console output when I try to install.

If I manually upgrade to pip 8.1.2 and install with --user, I don't seem to have this problem.
