Google Colab hangs on installing pybullet with pip with the following output:
Running the following in google colab:
!pip3 install pybullet --upgrade
Results in the following output:

Building wheels for collected packages: pybullet
To reproduce, you can run the colab advertised on this page.
It seems that installing pybullet on colab is very slow, because there is no wheel available on PyPI for python 3.10 (see https://pypi.org/project/pybullet/#files). Therefore pybullet is built from source which takes some time.
Any updates?
I had issues with this matter in the past weeks, turns out that the package installation takes 9 minutes. If you wait that long it'll work without a hassle.
