Error in composer-dev setup command: 'install_requires' must be a string of lists

Hi!

I get the following error when running pip install .

Installing build dependencies ... done
  Getting requirements to build wheel ... error
  error: subprocess-exited-with-error

I'm getting the same on macos with:

python: 3.8.10
pip: 23.0
setuptools: 67.1.0

and

python: 3.11.1
pip: 22.3.2
setuptools: 67.1.0

Same here:

python: 3.10.3
pip: 23.0

It worked when removing the * in the dependency definition:

e.g.
"google-cloud-orchestration-airflow>=1.2.0",
"google-cloud-artifact-registry>=1.2.0"

But I'm not sure if that's a valid workaround, and not sure why the * wildcard does not work in this context..

Python 3.8.12
