error: invalid command

It looks like wheel is not installed (locally or globally).
Try installing
it with "pip install wheel", or install it on the system (python3-wheel on
Debian); it could be enough to fix the issue.
That was it, many thanks !
To it looked as if pip didn't know the bdist_wheel command, and indeed
pip help-commands didn't include it. No indication at all that something
else was missing...
The relations and dependencies between the various python tools - pip,
setup, wheel, ... remain a mistery to me, and there seems to be little
up to date documentation. Examples all assume you want to make a package
for the PPI and no other use cases...
Have things
changed again ????
Python is changing faster now, so testing on different versions
is a good
idea.
With Archlinux you always (only) get the latest and greatest :-)
