PyCharm installs wheel by default when creating a new virtual environment.
Answered
Upon creating a new project folder with Python 3.9.6 as the base interpreter, PyCharm (2021.2) automatically installs the unnecessary package Wheel. How can this be fixed to where it won't install Wheel?

It's done by virtualenv, not PyCharm.
Try creating a virtual environment using the `virtualenv venv` command and it will automatically install pip, setuptools, and wheel.
@Sergey Karpov I'm trying to have it not install wheel. I just want the two required packages. How can I configure virtualenv to not install wheel when PyCharm creates a virtual environment?
