poetry install on python 3.7.3 failing on building wheel from src due to pep517, seems to be using the wrong wheel version?

[bowenisdum]

Hitting this error trying to poetry install a python 3.7.3 poetry project, specifically I think when it is using wheel to build a package, its using the wrong wheel version for python 3.7.3, any one know why this is the case? trying to understand if something is wrong with our poetry setup, or this is due to some othe reason

Note: This error originates from the build backend, and is likely not a problem with poetry but with ujson (1.35) not supporting PEP 517 builds. You can verify this by running 'pip wheel --use-pep517 "ujson (==1.35)"'.

checking the wheel build venv, looks to be using 0.45.0 which is not python 3.7.3 compatible?

$ cat /tmp/tmpvsk2pr0i/.venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/wheel/__init__.py
from __future__ import annotations

__version__ = "0.45.0"

local build works fine, because local pip have wheel 0.42.0

# manually running wheel works 
$ pip wheel --use-pep517 "ujson (==1.35)"
Looking in indexes: ....
