Yesteday we had a discussion about that on irc.
Here it goes:


[15:15:16] <g_bor> hello guix!
[15:16:01] <g_bor> do we have a proposed way to build pyc files
reproducibly?
[15:16:50] <g_bor> I've read in the report, that we are not there yet, but
is someone working on it?
[15:17:58] <lfam> g_bor: This is the report you mention? <
https://bugs.gnu.org/22533>
[15:18:10] <lfam> I'm not sure if anyone has been working on it since the
last message
[15:20:26] * Guest74 has joined #guix
[15:23:05] <g_bor> thx, just what i was looking for.
[15:23:26] <lfam> It's possible that some work in this area is pending on
the 'core-updates' Git branch, but I'm not sure
[15:37:41] <mb[m]1> At this stage we might as well wait for this to land
upstream: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0552/

So, it seems, that we are waiting for this pep to land upstream.
