There is a known issue I'm still working around, where for some reason two versions of wheel are installed simultaneously after the installer finishes. However, I thought I'd get this open now to allow review/commenting on what I do have at the moment.

This brings us into conformance with the guidelines for how to install Python applications in Homebrew:
https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/blob/5eaf4e5c28e7605cd9d8e1631d376b0e46c98624/docs/Python-for-Formula-Authors.md#installing

However, it is worth noting that after some internal discussions, it seems that there may be more clever ways to achieve the same levels of isolation. This change is not a philosophic disagreement with those ideas, just a pragmatic way forward until a better way is obvious.
This is a workaround for pypa/pip#6222. It should not be a permanent change.

This allows us to remove our dependency on an older version of the 'wheel' package.

Rob Pike has a saying, "A little copy is better than a little dependency". I believe
it's very applicable here, and you can here him talk about that philosophy here:
