[bersbersbers]

I have found out that this is caused by me having SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH=0. I use that to obtain reproducible output from TeX Live. After unset SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH, pip install lazy-object-proxy works again.

I wonder if this is expected behavior or should be fixed.

[agronholm]

An open question is whether wheel should record timestamps at all, or use the earliest possible one. I think this could be fixed in wheel as it is, by forcing a minimum file timestamp of 1980-01-01.

[pxl-th]

I was hitting this error every time when trying to install python packages inside BinaryBuilder.
Maybe it is worth considering setting strict_timestamps=False.
