How to remove NumPy installation in setup.py

[tpian928]

Description

When trying to build a wheel, an error occurred during the process of getting requirements. The error message indicates that the installation of NumPy is causing the problem, which is believed to be caused by the installation code in setup.py. It is suggested to remove related code in setup.py such as dist.Distribution().fetch_build_eggs(["numpy>=1.17.3"]) and install NumPy through requirements.txt instead. As the user is not sure how to solve this issue, they are seeking advice on whether it is possible to remove the code in setup.py and how to do so. The user has also checked issue #447 for similar issues but has not found a working solution.

Hi all, thanks for the report. This should be fixed with the v1.1.4 that I just released today. I'll close this issue but please open another one if you are still experiencing installation issues.
