Here are the commands I am running:
$ python setup.py bdist_wheel
usage: setup.py [global_opts] cmd1 [cmd1_opts] [cmd2 [cmd2_opts] ...]
or: setup.py --help [cmd1 cmd2 ...]
or: setup.py --help-commands
or: setup.py cmd --help
error: invalid command 'bdist_wheel'
$ pip --version
pip 1.5.6 from /usr/local/lib/python3.4/site-packages (python 3.4)
$ python -c "import setuptools; print(setuptools.__version__)"
2.1
$ python --version
Python 3.4.1
$ which python
/usr/local/bin/python
Also, I am running a mac with homebrewed python
Here is my setup.py script:

I’m going absolutely crazy — I can’t figure out why this wouldn’t be working.
Now we will see solution for issue: Why can I not create a wheel in python?
Answer
Install the wheel
package first:
pip install wheel
The documentation isn’t overly clear on this, but “the wheel project provides a bdist_wheel command for setuptools” actually means “the wheel package…”.
