Missing wheel for et-xmlfile when creating install of python program

I just added the ability of my python application to write a data set out to an excel file using openpyxl. Apparently openpyxl is dependent on the et-xmlfile. I create an install of my application by first running "setup.py sdist bdist_wheel" and then "pynsist installer.cfg". I added both openpyxl==3.0.7 and et-xmlfile=1.0.1 to the [Include] section of the installer.cfg file.

When running pynsist I get the following error.

File "c:\users\vh942e\appdata\local\python\lib\site-packages\nsist\wheels.py", line 150, in get_from_pypi raise NoWheelError('No compatible wheels found for {0.name} {0.version}'.format(self)) nsist.wheels.NoWheelError: No compatible wheels found for et-xmlfile 1.0.1

Are there any ideas about how to solve this no compatible wheels problem? All other included libraries work.

et-xmlfile doesn't have wheels on PyPI and for now, Pynsist only consumes wheels someone else has buil. That may change one day, but it would be a significant extra bit of complexity.

It looks like it's a pure Python project, so it's easy to make a wheel of it yourself:

pip wheel -w my_wheels et_xmlfile

Then you can specify in the include section of Pynsist's config file:

 extra_wheel_sources=my_wheels/

Alternatively, it looks like someone made a little fork of et-xmlfile a few days ago (et-xmlfile-2021) and uploaded a wheel. You might be able to use that instead. Of course it's up to you to check that the fork can be trusted if you decide to use it.
