This worked perfectly a month ago on my main system. Now I'm in holidays
with only my laptop, and it fails:

python3 -m pip wheel .
Processing /home/fons/python/jackimpfilt

python version is 3.10.5

Another difference IIRC is that on my main system pip would set up
a virtual environment, while this doesn't seem to happen here.

Have things changed again ????
