[p-wysocki]

It currently discards prebuilt wheels and fails to build from source. This PR forces pip to use prebuilt version

The logs show that pip considered 1.5.2. How does the path help?

The logs show that pip considered 1.5.2. How does the path help?

For some reason pip rejected 1.5.2 and chose to build from source, but it's not clear why. From my experience this sometimes happens with newer Python versions and is later fixed/improved with new pip updates. With this PR pip will either install the correct prebuilt wheel or throw an error we can actually see and act on.
