PEP 665, take 2 -- A file format to list Python dependencies for reproducibility of an application

Is there a concrete benefit to doing that? In my mind I view reproducibility as depending on a few inputs, one of which is the operating system.

I suppose it is debatable. But, especially for pure Python wheels, I don’t see any reason that the result shouldn’t be bit-for-bit identical regardless of the system that built it. Wheel selection and installation doesn’t care about the platform that the wheel was built on - only the platform it targets. So storing that information only serves to make reproducibility more difficult.
