None of the solutions proposed in ludbb/secp256k1-py#33 solved the issue for me.

Hi ₿ @dergigi

Actually this is a secp256k1-py setuptools issue: setup.py: Fix invalid definition of bdist_wheel command

You can work around this problem by using my branch (not merged yet):

pip install  git+https://github.com/juergenhoetzel/secp256k1-py@pip24_bdist_wheel_fix
pip install -r requirements.txt
