[issue29417] Sort entries in foo.dist-info/RECORD

Éric Araujo  added the comment:

Hello!  distutils does not write dist-info directories itself; wheel, 
setuptools and other build tools do that.  Look at https://github.com/pypa to 
find the bug trackers (I forget if wheel is there or on bitbucket)

This is important since for aws lambda the package can change every time.

[issue29417] Sort entries in foo.dist-info/RECORD

[Douglas Greiman]

New submission from Douglas Greiman:

Feature Request: It would make reproducible builds easier if the 
[package].dist-info/RECORD files were sorted in some deterministic way.  For 
example, building a Docker image twice and comparing the results.

The current ordering seems to be arbitrary, and I didn't find any PEPs that 
specify one way or the other.

I'm not sure what would need to be updated for this change.  The whole 
pip/distutils/setuptools ecosystem is a bit murky.
