CI can't install nightly-numpy on macos

Odd error from trying to install the nightly numpy on macos:

No idea what a fix could be, on linux (which I use) it works fine. @phofl you use mac, right? Any ideas?

Can't reproduce,

Successfully installed numpy-1.25.0.dev0+363.gbb2769e12

I've got python 3.11.0 though. my mamba can't find 3.11.1

Two thoughts,

1. It's trying to install from the sdist, which means it didn't find the nightly wheels.
2. Seems to be failing since its looking in the scipy-wheels-nightly index for setuptools, since it can't find it.

We should figure out why it's installing from the sdist and not able to find the nightlies. (I can seem macOS py311 wheels on the index)

That being said, though, it is time for the 3.11-dev jobs to be moved to regular jobs, so this might not matter anyways.

Already opened a PR for this, but it has some failures

closing as this doesn't seem actionable
