Wrong setuptools in docs?

[Erhannis]

My plugin's setup.cfg has

setup_requires = 
    setuptools >= 30.3.0

as described on https://plover.readthedocs.io/en/latest/plugin-dev/setup.html . However, python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel gave "error: invalid command 'bdist_wheel'". I did pip install --force setuptools, which uninstalled setuptools-65.5.0and installed setuptools-75.7.0. The command was then recognized as expected. I therefore suspect that setuptools may need to be a higher version than 30.3.0, indeed likely greater than somewhere between 65.5.0 and 75.7.0.
