From the manual: http://docs.python.org/tut/node8.html#SECTION008120000000000000000 Passing two -O flags to the Python interpreter (-OO) will cause the bytecode compiler to perform optimizations that could in some rare cases result in malfunctioning programs. Currently only __doc__ strings are removed from the bytecode, resulting in more compact .pyo files. Since some programs may rely on having these available, you should only use this option if you know what you're doing. > > But do whatever you believe is best. > > as I mentioned before there is no best, and it is a packager decision to go > with either of the conflicting alternatives; as far as they are implemented > correctly. As packaging documentations from both Fedora and SUSE mention that they should be included, I have decided to include the .pyc files. I hope that Brad is okay with this :-) Cheers, Bernard ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
