ERROR: Cannot uninstall 'wincertstore'. It is a distutils installed project and thus we cannot accurately determine which files belong to it which would lead to only a partial uninstall.

When I run make pip-tools, it seems that it doesn't work with pip sync giving an error like the below

pip-sync requirements/prod.txt requirements/dev.txt Found existing installation: wincertstore 0.2 ERROR: Cannot uninstall 'wincertstore'.

Adding wincerstore to dev requirements solved this for me. I don't foresee any issues due to this addition.
