lock create doesn't support tar.bz2 extensions about pex HOT 6 CLOSED

And, the data:

SELECT
REGEXP_EXTRACT(path, r'\.([^.]+|tar\.[^.]+|tar)$') as extension,
COUNT(*) as count
FROM `bigquery-public-data.pypi.distribution_metadata`
GROUP BY extension
ORDER BY count DESC

from pex.

@gruzewski the fix is now released in Pex 2.2.2. Pants folks should be able to help you upgrade your Pants setup to this Pex release.

Hrm, well yeah, .tar.bz2 is not supposed to be a thing: https://peps.python.org/pep-0517/#build-sdist

Looking further, even python-constraint realized this eventually and stopped producing wonky sdists.

That said, Pex needs to work with spec violations since the PyPA / spec world is such a mess.

from pex.

The most relevant PEP violated here appears to be https://peps.python.org/pep-0625/

This is noted in #2380, but it appears the chaos here was rooted in distutils / setuptools advice last documented here: https://docs.python.org/3.11/distutils/sourcedist.html

Awesome, thank you!
