`pip_install(["--platform linux_x86_64"]` running `pip wheel` and result in `no such option: --platform linux_x86_64`

I have the identical issue as explained here: bazel-contrib/rules_python#260 (comment) and I'm trying to implement the suggestion from here: bazel-contrib/rules_python#260 (comment).

My WORKSPACE:

## PIP install libs for python
http_archive(
    name = "com_github_ali5h_rules_pip",
    strip_prefix = "rules_pip-3.0.0",
    sha256 = "630a7cab43a87927353efca116d20201df88fb443962bf01c7383245c7f3a623",
    urls = ["https://github.com/ali5h/rules_pip/archive/3.0.0.tar.gz"],
)

load("@com_github_ali5h_rules_pip//:defs.bzl", "pip_import")

pip_import(
    name = "pip_deps",
    requirements = "//third_party/python_requirements:requirements.txt",
    python_interpreter="python3",
)

load("@pip_deps//:requirements.bzl", "pip_install")
pip_install(["--platform linux_x86_64", "--only-binary", ":all"])

Unfortunately, I get the following error:

no such option: --platform linux_x86_64
)

I'm confused why the argument is being passed (as it seems) to pip wheel and not only pip install.

How should I solve this issue?

[ali5h]

it should be pip_install(["--platform", "linux_x86_64", "--only-binary", ":all"])
