Running "python3 setup.py bdist_wheel" on a /mnt/c/... path results in a "Errno 13 Permission Denied" error

I'm trying to build a bdist package of my python app but the command python3 setup.py bdist_wheel fails with error Errno 13: Permission Denied when is launched from a subfolder of /mnt/c/.The same command (with the same set of sources) launched from a subfolder of /home/<username> succeeds.This happens only for the bdist_wheel parameter; with the sdist parameter all goes fine.Any idea?
