do we want to introduce flags that turn on
--no-compile
and
--no-use-system-time
? I haven’t thought much about that I think it makes sense to do. Alternatives are to use
--reproducible
and to simply always do reproducible

pants v1 tasks mostly use pex as a library.
so this would be passing those flags in the pex builder, i think.

Yes that sounds right. Which API do we want though?
--no-compile
and
--no-use-system-time
as options on the subystem
PexBuilderWrapper
? I think that makes the most sense
I at a minimum can write an issue explaining how to make these changes. I was going to have to do that soon anyways

they are a reasonable default moving forward.
