#21100 Port `scie` plugin to mainline Issue created by sureshjoshi I've got a plugin that I've been using for about a year to package pexes into

scie

files using

science

. I didn't mainline it because John mentioned that eventually

pex

will gain this functionality natively, so it seemed silly to port this in. Today I realized, it's sillier to NOT port this in and then just eventually deprecate it in favour of the native tooling later. These are incredibly useful to me for non-docker deployments, and just making tooling easier on my machine (e.g. https://github.com/sureshjoshi/pantsible). https://github.com/sureshjoshi/pants-plugins/tree/main/pants-plugins/experimental/scie https://github.com/a-scie/jump https://github.com/a-scie/science pantsbuild/pants
