how to download and install wxPython wheel from github for Python 3.10 to overcome disutils and setuptools problem

Python 3.10 has a problem with disutils and setuptools>=58 in that wxPython will not run in conjunction with packages Gooey/DEAP/NEMO. I have been told there is a wxPython wheel which gets round those problems

https://github.com/oleksis/youtube-dl-gui/releases/tag/v1.8.2 but i cannot get the command syntax to work for some relationship between: “git+”, #egg”, “wxPython”

I tried pip install -e git+https://github.com/oleksis/youtube-dl-gui/releases/tag/v1.8.2/wxPython-4.1.2a1-cp310-cp310-win_amd64.whl#egg=wxPython
and got

pip install -e git+https://github.com/oleksis/youtube-dl-gui/releases/tag/v1.8.2/wxPython-4.1.2a1-cp310-cp310-win_amd64.whl#egg=wxPython

What is the correct pip command for this case please.
