[New-bugs-announce] [issue36302] distutils creates unreproducible .so files

[Bernhard M. Wiedemann]

New submission from Bernhard M. Wiedemann <pythonbugs at lsmod.de>:

While working on reproducible builds for openSUSE, I found countless python modules that come with binary .so files that did not build reproducibly from non-deterministic filesystem readdir order.

One contributing factor is bpo-30461 that will not be fixed.
I found that a simple patch can be done in distutils
instead of fixing an infinite number of current and future python modules.
