No, the sets are built as real sets and then marshalled to .pyc files
in a separate step.  So on CPython an essentially random order will
end up in the .pyc file.  Even CPython 3.6 gives a deterministic order
to dictionaries but not sets.  You could ensure sets are marshalled in
a known order by changing the marshalling code, e.g. to emit them in
sorted order (on Python 2.x; on 3.x it is more messy because different
types are more often non-comparable).


A bientôt,

Armin.
