Nice. A bonus of this is it'll make it easier to use an alternative extractor (it can just extract instead of having to deal with wheel format details) |

I would trigger merge, but this is set as draft -- overall it LGTM. Is there some edge case the python code handles that a plain extract doesn't? |

I renamed the title; this is purely internal and I don't see why it would be user-notable |

This is a small utility function to get us Python free when wheels are extracted in the repository phase. Next is to extract the wheel using `repository_ctx.extract` (#3430). Whereas patching the wheel after extracting is more involved to be done without Python because we need to rezip the wheel and that has to be done with Python for a few reasons (to stay sane). If we want to remove this, then we would have to create a `whl` file in the build phase, which could work, but will need to be an exercise for the reader. Nevertheless, this moves us towards removing any side-effects from Python interpreter, so changing the default interpreter would not cause us to refetch everything. --------- Co-authored-by: gemini-code-assist[bot] <176961590+gemini-code-assist[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>
With this we start extracting the wheel without Python and it becomes a requirement only when patching (we will extract the wheel without Python, patch it and then re-compress it which makes a very inefficient process). This should result in much faster executions.

OK, I updated the Let me know what kind of extra tests we should have here. |

This should result in much faster executions because we can start extracting wheels even before we fetch the entire Python toolchain and we don't need to fetch it in a wheel-only setup until we are actually building/executing tests. What is more bazel is faster in extracting everything. Work towards #2948
