rules_python - Issue #741
The output filename of a py_wheel target does not respect stamp info rendering
of the version field, even though it is used in the internal wheel files.
$ bazel build //:wheel
Starting local Bazel server and connecting to it...

bazel-bin/test_wheel-0.0.1_BUILD_TIMESTAMP_-py3-none-any.whl
INFO: Elapsed time: 3.387s, Critical Path: 0.14s

Note the output file is named test_wheel-0.0.1_BUILD_TIMESTAMP_-py3-none-any.whl
instead of rendering the stamp value of BUILD_TIMESTAMP.
However, if the .whl file is opened, it contains the expected name of e.g.
test_wheel-0.0.1_1656829011.dist-info for the dist-info directory.
In addition, bazel-bin/wheel.name contains the correctly rendered name, e.g.
test-wheel-0.0.1-1656829011-py3-none-any.whl, which does not match the output file.
