Install Fails on Latest Version of pip and setuptools

[jwogrady]

I'm using a python3 virtual environment created by python3's venv command.

If I don't upgrade pip and setup tools the install works fine. It's when I upgrade pip and setuptools to the latest version the installation fails with the output provided below.

I'm using Python 3.9.6 in development. The venv command installs

pip        21.2.4
setuptools 58.0.4

The versions used when installs failed

Package    Version
---------- -------
pip        22.3.1
setuptools 65.6.3

  DEPRECATION: lxml is being installed using the legacy 'setup.py install' method, because it does not have a 'pyproject.toml' and the 'wheel' package is not installed. pip 23.1 will enforce this behaviour change. A possible replacement is to enable the '--use-pep517' option. Discussion can be found at https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/8559

Based on the error, it seems like you need to install wheel (pip install wheel). This has been my experience as well with all python packages that provide wheels. Does that fix the issue?
