I've pushed a variant of this on to core-updates in commit e84519a949
("gnu: python: Make the build reproducible."), thank you!

I've opted to keep the patch local, which has been discussed as
preferred in the past (I think for reliability -- they don't disappear).

While python build was reproducible on a single machine, once multiple
file systems entered the picture, it was no longer true.  My local builds on
BTRFS differed from build on ext4 done in a virtual machine.

The distutils library present in current python is sensitive to file system
ordering.  The solution is the same opensuse used, sorting the list of files.

With this patch, build on my machine (BTRFS) and in a guix system vm (ext4)
produce the same store item.

More info: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1049186

* gnu/packages/python.scm (python-3.10)[arguments]<#:phases>: Add
'patch-distutils phase.
