When running pip3 install amici:

ERROR: Failed building wheel for amici

Installs fine, but is confusing.

I guess this can be fixed somehow in setup.py.

When I've seen this error, it was resolved by adding the wheel package to the virtual environment with pip3 install wheel before running pip3 install amici (or other packages).

Yeah, that works, but I was hoping, we could handle that more gracefully in setup.py...
