pip check fails with pip==24.2: upf-to-json is not supported on this platform

[danielhollas]

Issue

Running a pip check in a fresh conda environment with latest pip==24.2 reports a problem that's likely caused by invalid wheel metadata. More info and discussion can be found on this issue:
pypa/pip#11054

To reproduce

$ conda create -n test pip=22.4 upf-to-json
$ conda activate test
$ pip check
upf-to-json 0.9.2 is not supported on this platform

Note that pip check does not fail if the upf-to-json package is installed with pip from PYPI.

Looks like just rebuilding the package solves this issue. I've opened #5 and added pip check to tests.

Thank you @danielhollas for the help.

It looks like the problem is an incorrect Python version tag is specified in the *.dist-info/WHEEL file. Here's the content of the file in the current build.

Wheel-Version: 1.0
Generator: bdist_wheel (0.33.6)
Root-Is-Purelib: true
Tag: cp27-none-any

cp27 means that the package is restricted to CPython 2.7. Instead, to support both Python 2 to and Python 3, the platform tag should be py2.py3 per specification here: https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/specifications/platform-compatibility-tags/#python-tag
