Why is python setup.py saying invalid command 'bdist_wheel' on Travis CI?
Had to install the wheel package. Everything was up to date but still giving the error.
pip install wheel
then
python setup.py bdist_wheel
Worked without issues.

2 hours wasted.
On a AWS Ubuntu 18.04 new machine, below installations are required:
sudo apt-get install gcc libpq-dev -y
sudo apt-get install python-dev python-pip -y
sudo apt-get install python3-dev python3-pip python3-venv python3-wheel -y
pip3 install wheel
Especially the last line is must.
However before 3 lines might be required as prerequisites.
Hope that helps.
