It's non-obvious if you're coming from the compiled-language world to the interpreted world. Barring any failures of your system clock, of your file-system, or intentional meddling on your part to alter the timestamp on the .pyc file, Python automatically detects via the timestamp when it needs to recompile the .py file into a fresh .pyc file. So the simple answer is simply to let the views.py be run (whether via hitting the "manage.py runserver" server, or actually pointing at it via your production web server). Python will notice that the .pyc is out of date and automatically rebuild it for you. This happens so quickly, it's almost unnoticable. There are some freak cases where you have to force a compile (which python can do), but unless you're in one of these cases, you should be fine. -tim --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
