Hi @rhubarbdog,

This sounds like it could be an issue with your python/pip installation. Having a quick look online it's possible you might need to manually install the wheel package as well? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34819221/why-is-python-setup-py-saying-invalid-command-bdist-wheel-on-travis-ci

yes i had to issue command pip install wheel . ulfash also relies on setuptools for which i had to issue command pip install setuptools perhaps the README.md and and associated readthedocs documentation
