4.4 Possible problems
For windows users, dependency python-levenshtein installation might run into trouble. developers might need to download .whl file and install it manually (reference to link)

This is preventing me from completing the setup on windows.

I re-setup in WSL and was getting the same issue. I found a workaround and wanted to share it here for reference.

Cause:
The latest setuptools adds a vendored wheel 0.43.0 and ignores wheel 0.30.0

Workaround: (pin setuptools to 70.0.0)
pip3 install setuptools==70.0.0

After re-testing this seems to fail still, will try and document the fix

Hi @chrisribe
I also created a WSL and I was able to execute it successfully, here are all the commands I used:

python -m venv env --prompt azcli
source env/bin/activate
pip install azdev -U
pip install --upgrade pip
pip install setuptools==70.0.0
azdev setup --cli ./azure-cli --repo ./azure-cli-extensions
