  DEPRECATION: celer was installed using the legacy 'setup.py install' method, because a wheel could not be built for it. A possible replacement is to fix the wheel build issue reported above. You can find discussion regarding this at https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/8368.

yet, trying to build celer's wheel locally with pip wheel ., I don't get any error. Puzzling.

same for me on Arch Linux.

Hi @wilecoyote2015,
It has not been a blocking issue for me so it's currently not high on the priority list. Is it blocking for you? Do you have any idea how to address it?

[wilecoyote2015]

@mathurinm
I have been able to build the current master according to the build instructions provided in the readme, so it is not a blocking issue for me.
Besides, I have no real idea what causes the issue, unfortunately...

Upgrading pip to 21.2.4 and installing the wheel package, celer's wheel building when being installed as the dependency of another package works on my machine.
