There's some discussion about pyc support in issue 1695<http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=1695>. The summary is: a) no we don't use compiled byte-code b) you probably won't ever be able to upload compiled bytecode c) it doesn't seem unreasonable that we can can safely compile your bytecode for you (look at Java's precompilation in 1.2.8 as an example) d) but we haven't put that on the official roadmap yet Startup time is important to us, and we are working on it. -- > > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Google App Engine" group. > To post to this group, send email to google-appeng...@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > google-appengine+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com<google-appengine%2bunsubscr...@googlegroups.com> > . > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/google-appengine?hl=en. > > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
