The way how pip currently works (I assume that this stays the case) is that it uses a temporary build directory for everything, for example /tmp/pip-build-uvfWuR So concretely for a wheel install: (A) Extract the wheel in build directory (B) Generate .pyc files in build directory (C) Copy files from build directory to final installation directory in site-packages. The way I understand it, https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/5648 is about (A) while my proposal is about (C). So I think that timestamps should be preserved in (A) but not for (C).
