The main issue is that pep425tags was an internal thing from the wheel module. I believe it was never meant to be used like that and it was always subject to change. Facing this problem myself just now I noticed that wheel==0.34.1 has pep425tags while wheel==0.35.0 does not.

So if you really want to use this module, make sure to pip3 install wheel==0.34.1.
