Crick fails to install via pip when wheel needs to be built

[dankerrigan]

Describe the issue:

pip install crick fails when building a wheel due to apparent errors in the pyproject.toml file. The issue is fixed by #41 but that change has not been released.

Minimal Complete Verifiable Example:

In a clean environment, run

pip install crick --no-cache-dir

        `numpy.distutils` is deprecated since NumPy 1.23.0, as a result
        of the deprecation of `distutils` itself. It will be removed for
        Python >= 3.12. For older Python versions it will remain present.
        It is recommended to use `setuptools < 60.0` for those Python versions.

Should be fixed now with 0.0.5 https://github.com/dask/crick/releases/tag/0.0.5

Please reopen if not. :)

[dankerrigan]

Thank you so much! Is it possible to get an updated conda release as well? The latest there is 0.0.3.

[milesgranger]

You bet, conda-forge/crick-feedstock#20 is poised to go in soon. 👍

[milesgranger]

@dankerrigan it's just been merged, apologies for the delay!
