After posting my first response to your post, I remembered that Donald had provided a link to the commit that removed the -E. From a quick look at that commit, ISTM that distil's approach to restarting is somewhat easier to reason about and debug than the approach taken by pip to implement -E: it takes place before any of the rest of the logic in the restarted program is run, so a question like "why didn't restart_in_venv get called, when it should have been?" doesn't arise. There are no rabbit-holes to go down. The approach in that snippet could apply to any script - it's not especially distil-specific.
