Wheel missing from dependency list

[millsks]

https://github.com/cloudfoundry/python-buildpack/releases/tag/v1.8.26 should fix the issue. Feel free to reopen if the issue persists

I just checked and wheel was not listed on the release page or in the dependency list in manifest.yml. What was the accepted fix that was merged?

The wheel package is needed when the package is shipped in source and needs to be built into a wheel as part of the install process (e.g., django-allauth)

I see wheel referenced in the code, but not in the dependency list. I will test today and close this if we are good to go.

I checked in v1.8.28 and I only see pip and setuptools installed prior to installing the application dependencies. Is there something specific that we would have to do to include wheel?
