Closes #6257
Supplants #12717 & #13520 (because I accidentally broke that PR)
Design Choices:
Option Name & Semantics - "uploaded-prior-to" was chosen to match semantically with an exclusive upper bound in both the "date" and "datetime" format, e.g.
--uploaded-prior-to 2025-01-01includes only packages uploaded prior to2025-01-01 00:00:00(i.e., 2024 and earlier): #13520 (comment)Timezone - Accepts ISO 8601 datetime strings, defaults to local timezone if unspecified. Documentation recommends explicit UTC (Z suffix) or UTC offset for reproducibility: #13520 (comment)
Error Handling - Fails immediately if a package index doesn't provide upload-time metadata. File system packages (local directories, wheels, etc.) are unaffected - this only applies to remote indexes: #13520 (comment), so you can specify local packages that depend on remote packages and filter those remote packages by
