Nemo gets installed in legacy version because it couldn't build a wheel

[speedhunter001]

Describe the bug

I am using google colab for using nemo, nemo supports python 3.8 but colab has python 3.7, I can succesfully install python 3.8 in colab and pip but when I try to install nemo, it gives me an error in the end that nemo got installed in legacy version becaue pip failed to build a wheel. After using the !pip install git+https://github.com/NVIDIA/NeMo.git@main#egg=nemo_toolkit[all] --verbose --log ./pip.log and reading the logs, I find this

Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 2, in File "", line 34, in File "/tmp/pip-install-0anzil8f/nemo-toolkit_8b9af28d0a0a4f5d861548d9508e4c38/setup.py", line 209, in setuptools.setup( File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/setuptools/init.py", line 153, in setup return distutils.core.setup(**attrs) File "/usr/lib/python3.8/distutils/core.py", line 148, in setup dist.run_commands() File "/usr/lib/python3.8/distutils/dist.py", line 966, in run_commands self.run_command(cmd) File "/usr/lib/python3.8/distutils/dist.py", line 985, in run_command cmd_obj.run() File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/wheel/bdist_wheel.py", line 256, in run self.egg2dist(self.egginfo_dir, File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/wheel/bdist_wheel.py", line 426, in egg2dist pymeta = pkginfo_to_dict(metadata_path, File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/wheel/metadata.py", line 177, in pkginfo_to_dict new_requirements = sorted(convert_requirements(requirements)) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/wheel/metadata.py", line 234, in convert_requirements parsed_requirement = pkg_resources.Requirement.parse(req) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/pkg_resources/init.py", line 3154, in parse req, = parse_requirements(s) ValueError: too many values to unpack (expected 1)

Steps/Code to reproduce bug

Install python 3.8 and then run this

Expected behavior Nemo should be installed correctly and its logs should show any problem.
