Wheel build is broken in a clean Python environment

[TimotheusBachinger]

Hi NetApp,

we need to build and compile from source and using netapp_ontap-9.14.1.0.tar.gz for that which fails with:

╭─ /tmp/netapp_original/netapp_ontap-9.14.1.0 
╰─$ python -m pip install --no-binary=":all:" --no-deps --compile --isolated --prefix=$PWD .

[notice] A new release of pip is available: 23.3.1 -> 23.3.2
[notice] To update, run: pip install --upgrade pip

The setup.py defines correctly the needed build dependency with:

    install_requires=["marshmallow>=3.2.1", "requests>=2.26.0", "requests-toolbelt>=0.9.1", "urllib3>=1.26.7","certifi>=2022.12.7"],

but the build fails as it already needs requests during import netapp_ontap.

Here a simple workaround:

9d8
< import netapp_ontap
13c12
<     version=netapp_ontap.__version__,
---
>     version="9.14.1.0",
17c16
<     long_description=netapp_ontap.__doc__,
---
>     long_description="see netapp_ontap.__doc__",

Which results in a successful build without having requests installed beforehand.

Could you fix this on your side?

I have currently a work around in place by using a fork in our build process in case any body needs a quick solution:
