regression with python3.7: AttributeError: 'zipimport.zipimporter' object has no attribute 'create_module'

After updating to wrapt 1.14.0, I started seeing issues with pip installs on python3.7:

Installing build dependencies: started
Installing build dependencies: finished with status 'error'
error: subprocess-exited-with-error

× pip subprocess to install build dependencies did not run successfully.

    [end of output]

I assume it could be due to: https://github.com/GrahamDumpleton/wrapt/commit/53323ba4b92f88dab5a8ec3262a1c1f1e979a3e2

which introduced this code:

    def create_module(self, spec):
         return self.loader.create_module(spec)

However, the zipimporter module’s create_module function was only added in python 3.10: https://docs.python.org/3/library/zipimport.html#zipimport.zipimporter.create_module

Reverting wrapt to 1.13.3 resolved the pip issues again.

Fix released in 1.14.1.

Sorry yes that was a rather terse description on my part - I first reproduced the issue by letting my package auto install the current release of wrapt.

I then reset the env, installed current master wrapt then installed my package, which then continued to work currently.

It definitely looks like your updates on master fixes the reproduction case I have of this issue.
