Description
I got this warning when I installed swat today:
DEPRECATION: swat is being installed using the legacy 'setup.py install' method, because it does not have a 'pyproject.toml' and the 'wheel' package is not installed. pip 23.1 will enforce this behaviour change. A possible replacement is to enable the '--use-pep517' option. Discussion can be found at https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/8559
I resolved this by installing the wheel package. It seems one of two things is needed:
a) update the doc to mention the wheel package as a dependency or
b) make the swat install compatible with the coming pip 23.1 release

Reproduce the installation with the affected pip behavior, then confirm that the documented or implemented installation path no longer emits the legacy setup.py warning.
