while i'm waiting for this cache/lockfile/constraints stuff to sort out, is there a work around i can get to now where i can send the

--cache-ttl

arg to

pex

commands?

From Pants? Not yet, but we had a meeting just now and are planning to prioritize improving the cache-ttl today/tomorrow. Some possible approaches: 1. Fix what sounds like a real bug you found that we redownload files, even if they didn’t change. 2. Allow Pants to change the option As soon as the Pants change is in, you can consume from a ~nightly build, rather than waiting for the release tomorrow. cc @happy-kitchen-89482, I can work on the Pants side while you work on the Pex side

I will look at the pex side

https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/pull/10997. Once this lands, I’ll cherry-pick into 2.0.x, then you can consume that build in ~3-4 hours after the wheels are built
