what’s the best recourse here? is this still an open issue in the latest version of pants/pex? is there any option better than manually constructing a wheel that doesn’t have the issue?

@aloof-angle-91616 is this related? https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/pull/7289

@fierce-park-88503: would comment on the ticket to ask

it is not related unfortunately, that fixes a bug in the UnpackWheels task but it’s localized to there

and ping

@jsirois

possibly, since he's been working on incorporating pex fixes in pex

1.6.2

into pants.

(which #7289 is helping to address, indirectly, as one of the difficulties in doing so was the weirdness in the UnpackWheels task)
