It looks like newer pip versions have issues supporting source downloads. So far this has been worked around by changing to a binary distribution - as we start to drop python2 support (eg, the older pip), this problem will come up frequently.
This is a proposed way around that as an alternative to using wheels everywhere (eg, using --no-binary=none). This follows the advice of pypa/pip#9701
