#2299 Support turning installed wheel chroots into `.whl` files with full fidelity. Issue created by jsirois If we can round trip from a downloaded
.whl
to an installed wheel chroot and back with full fidelity, then we can fix a long existing latent bug and improve composability of Pex options: • Unreported bug:
PEX_TOOLS=1 ./a.pex repository extract ...
does not produce correct wheels when the original wheel contains any data dirs (
<project>-<version>.data/*
.whl
zip file entries). • `--pex-repository`: via #2298 a PEX repository with dependency
.whl
files can satisfy
.whl
file resolves and installed wheel chroot resolves but a PEX repository with installed wheel chroot dependencies can only satisfy resolves for installed wheel chroot dependencies and not for
.whl
files. pantsbuild/pex
