Unable to install due to failed building wheel for rectangle-packer

[astralcai]

Description
Fail to install dwave-ocean-sdk through pip.

ERROR: Failed building wheel for rectangle-packer
Running setup.py clean for rectangle-packer
Failed to build rectangle-packer
ERROR: Could not build wheels for rectangle-packer, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects

To Reproduce
Run pip install dwave-ocean-sdk

Expected behavior
Successfully installs

Environment:

• OS: macOS Sonoma 14.0 (23A344)
• Python version: 3.11.5
• Ocean SDK version: 6.5.0

Additional context
This seems to be an issue with the new macOS, because when I tried to install it on a different machine it works.

It's an interaction between Cython3, setuptools, and rectagle-packer. Specifically rectangle-packer does not ship ARM wheels for OSX, which means that pip will try to do an sdist install, which then runs into Penlect/rectangle-packer#21 and then cython/cython#5568.

Because we don't control that package, we're a bit beholden to the community fixing it. That said, if this persists long enough we'll look at forking rectangle-packer or similar.

There are a few open issues on the topic:
Penlect/rectangle-packer#22
Penlect/rectangle-packer#21
cython/cython#5568
pypa/cibuildwheel#1612 edit: nope, not relevant other than pointing out how to unpin build versions.

Opened another PR (Penlect/rectangle-packer#23) against rectangle-packer to see if that fixes it.

Thank you! Meanwhile, would using a different version of Python fix anything?

Unfortunately I think any ARM osx system will run into this issue, though I don't myself have access to a mac so I haven't been able to exhaustively check.

@arcondello I just tried again and the issue seems to have been resolved.
