Executing `python setup.py bdist_wheel` fails with
```
ValueError: ZIP does not support timestamps before 1980
```
This is because files are included that depend on items in the Nix store which have a timestamp of, that is, it corresponds to January the 1st, 1970 at 00:00:00. And as the error informs you, ZIP does not support that.
Fortunately `bdist_wheel` takes into account `SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH`. On Nix this value is set to 1. By setting it to a value correspond to 1980 or later it is possible to build wheels.
