using bdist_wheel so the ci step does not fail anymore

[ChrsBaur]

The build step of the ci pipeline is failing.

I'm a bit confused. I'm not an expert in packaging but python setup.py dist doesn't exist as a command. It should be sdist for a source distribution. I think that would also be the more general case but I'm also fine with bdist_wheel.

In any case, afaik, the whole python setup.py is deprecated and shouldn't be used (https://blog.ganssle.io/articles/2021/10/setup-py-deprecated.html). However, I don't know what the current best-practice is.

I'd be fine with merging this for now. However, I think this is an excellent area to improve the template and bake in modern python distribution best-practices! These could be starting points: https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/guides/modernize-setup-py-project/
