Anyway, the SUSE tests seem to fail on .pyc files. The main change in that area was [PEP 552], try starting there. AFAIK, SUSE is ahead of Fedora in the reproducible builds area; perhaps that's where the difference is. In particular, if a build system sets SOURCEDATEEPOCH without specifying a pyc format for pycompile or compileall, Python 3.7 will give you checked hashes by default: https://docs.python.org/3/library/pycompile.html?highlight=sourcedateepoch#pycompile.compile

Running the following locally fails for me:

$ SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH=`date` ./python -m test test_py_compile test_compileall

So my guess would be that this is a test suite error where we're not handling the "running in a reproducible build environment with SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH already set" case.

Cheers, Nick.
