[Python-Dev] Deterministic builds of the interpreter

[Freddy Rietdijk]

Hi,

Are there anymore suggestions how to improve the determinism of the Python
3 interpreter? As I mentioned, it seems only sets cause unreproducible
bytecode. Sets have no order. But when generating the bytecode, I would
expect there would still be an order since the code isn't actually
executed, right?
