Together with gitpython-developers#2007, this works around gitpython-developers#2004, allowing all tests to pass on Cygwin CI. In gitpython-developers#2007, installation of the environment in which tests run was fixed by downloading and running the `get-pip.py` bootstrap script. If we were to modify our helper that sets up the (separate) virtual environment in `test_installation` so that it does the same thing (or conditionally does so on CI, since the problem does not seem to happen in local installations), that would likely "fix" this more thoroughly, allowing the test to pass. But part of the goal of the installation test is to test that installation works in a typical environment on the platform it runs on. So it is not obivous that making it pass in that way would be an improvement compared to marking it `xfail` with the exception type that occurs due to gitpython-developers#2004. So this just does that, for now.

Thanks a lot for your valuable support.
Generally I am leaning towards closing it to see if a user will submit a related issue. |

This installs the `python-pip-wheel`, `python-setuptools-wheel`, and `python-wheel-wheel` packages on Cygwini CI, which provide `.whl` files for `pip`, `setuptools`, and `wheel`. By making those wheels available, this fixes gitpython-developers#2004 better than the previous workaround, allowing `ensurepip` to run without the error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3.9/runpy.py", line 188, in _run_module_as_main mod_name, mod_spec, code = _get_module_details(mod_name, _Error) File "/usr/lib/python3.9/runpy.py", line 147, in _get_module_details return _get_module_details(pkg_main_name, error) File "/usr/lib/python3.9/runpy.py", line 111, in _get_module_details __import__(pkg_name) File "/usr/lib/python3.9/ensurepip/__init__.py", line [30](https://github.com/EliahKagan/GitPython/actions/runs/13454947366/job/37596811693#step:10:31), in <module> _SETUPTOOLS_VERSION = _get_most_recent_wheel_version("setuptools") File "/usr/lib/python3.9/ensurepip/__init__.py", line 27, in _get_most_recent_wheel_version return str(max(_wheels[pkg], key=distutils.version.LooseVersion)) ValueError: max() arg is an empty sequence This change takes the place of the main changes in gitpython-developers#2007 and gitpython-developers#2009. In particular, it should allow `test_installation` to pass again. This also delists non-wheel Cygwin packages such as `python39-pip`, which are not needed (or at least no longer needed).

In particular, it should allow `test_installation` to pass again. This also delists non-wheel Cygwin packages such as `python39-pip`, which are not needed (or at least no longer needed). (The python-{pip,setuptools,wheel}-wheel packages are, as their names suggest, intentionally not specific to Python 3.9. However, this technique will not necessarily carry over to Python 3.12, depending on what versions are supplied and other factors. This may be relevant when another attempt like gitpython-developers#1988 is made to test/support Python 3.12 on Cygwin. At least for now, though, this seems worthwhile for fixing the Cygwin 3.9 environment, making it more similar to working local Cygwin environments and letting the workflow be more usable as guidance to how to set up a local Cygwin environment for GitPython development, and letting the installation test pass automatically.)
