However, build doesn't stop.

Looks like they dropped support for Python 2.6 in Wheel 0.30.0 (​release notes), so we'll need to pin the dependency at wheel==0.29.0.

[Jun Omae]

Sure. However, latest wheel package is automatically downloaded and installed when creating virtualenv. It cannot be pinned. Instead, it is needed to use --no-download option to prevent the behavior.

[b118a7647/jomae.git] (jomae.git@t12961).

[Jun Omae]

Added [2fb46954b/jomae.git] which verifies requires packages are installed. Confirmed wheel 0.29.0 is used when Python 2.6 on OS X. See ​https://travis-ci.org/jun66j5/trac/jobs/331491205.

Also, I think we should show versions of pip and wheel via make status.
