Jeroen seemed to say he agreed with this, but
I'm not sure I see how that matches his stated requirement for
installs to not preserve timestamps...
The way how pip currently works (I assume that this stays the case) is
that it uses a temporary build directory for everything, for example
/tmp/pip-build-uvfWuR
So concretely for a wheel install:
(A) Extract the wheel in build directory
(B) Generate .pyc files in build directory
(C) Copy files from build directory to final installation directory in
site-packages.
The way I understand it, https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/5648 is
about (A) while my proposal is about (C). So I think that timestamps
should be preserved in (A) but not for (C).
