As a bit of background, from my hard-won experience in other areas of Reproducible Builds I would highly advise against adding a "disable address output" command- line argument that was *also* not enabled by default. Otherwise you will end up in a Sisyphean situation where not only will you still need to patch the almost-countless number of existing software packages to enable said stripping, you will need to continually do this as new software is written. > - or, do we have a standard "is a reproducible build currently being > attempted?" mechanism, that IPython could use to decide whether to > disable address output? (Checking whether SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is set?) I believe that the "is SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH set" predicate, whilst not being 100% perfect as a boolean condition, is suitable for this kind of thing and have used it in the past to good effect and with no side- effects. > - or, we could put a "remove Python addresses" post-processor in > strip-nondeterminism. I'd be very much a -1 on this solution alas.
