ImportError: cannot import name 'open_for_csv' from 'wheel.util' (/opt/_internal/cpython-3.7.5/lib/python3.7/site-packages/wheel/util.py)

I'm not sure if this is a problem with auditwheel, or if (more likely) it's a problem with the pypa/manylinux1_x86_64 Docker image published on quay.io, but auditwheel repair fails for us with the following error:

This might be a duplicate of #102. I see the persistent build script does /opt/python/*/bin/pip install -U wheel for all pythons in /opt/python/*. It was my assumption that those Pythons are different from the one used by auditwheel itself (/opt/_interna/cpython-3.7.5), but that assumption could be mistaken.

UPDATE it was mistaken. I've now discoverd the Dockerfile and build scripts, and it seems auditwheel is installed right into /opt/python/cp37-cp37m, which is one of those pythons where we bravely pip install -U wheel.

So this is a duplicate of #102, and I'm closing it as such.

Well - except - doesn't this mean that we need to fix the manylinux image to make sure we're installing a suitably old version of wheel?

[mgedmin]

The image has the right version of wheel. Our build script was running pip install -U pip setuptools wheel cffi which broke things.

[matthew-brett]

Aha - thanks for correcting me.
