I'm doing some refactoring of the 
system_binaries
rules. This gives me an opportunity to fix https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/issues/18669 by using Python stdlib. So, please jump in on that issue if you have thoughts...
w
Is 
system_binaries
consumed by adhoc tool, or does adhoc tool use a different mechanism to pick up?
b
Specifically, the issue is about switching the 
tar
and 
zip
rules to use Python stdlib for determinism instead of/on top of the system binaries
f
Is the stdlib being used in a script invoked from a 
Process
?
Because with remote execution, you would otherwise have to bring a large blob to the local executor.
And better to do operation on large archives in the remote execution environment.

Yes. Which we know is always guaranteed to exist, thanks to our own Bootstrapped Python. But you have a point that bringing along a Bootstrapped Python might be painful
Let's discuss on Issue? 🙂 That's good point(s) that should be preserved for posterity

@wide-midnight-78598 
adhoc_tool
itself does not use 
system_binaries
per se (it does depend on Bash at the moment). 
system_binary
(the target) uses its own implementation because the error handling (in 
system_binaries
) is a bit narrow

Aha, okay, - I had a bug to report (or, maybe just a documentation thing), which I believe I forgot. If it overlapped with something we already were working on, then even better.
