No, because the optification was done by creating a "pymaemo-optify" package which bind mounts the relevant Python directories from /usr/... to /opt/pymaemo. These mounts are done during device boot by /etc/init.d/pymaemo-optify (they are not mounted inside scratchbox, of course). This means that there is no change required for python packages to become optified, they just need to depend on python. > We can put additional checks into maemo-optify to disable optification. > I don't know enough about Python packages to suggest a good one, but > maybe just looking for /usr/lib/py* in a package and stopping to do > anything would work. Actually the list of directories handled by pymaemo-optify is variable (but not expected to change). They are defined in /etc/default/pymaemo-optify and currently is: /usr/lib/python2.5 /usr/share/pyshared /usr/lib/pyshared /usr/share/python-support /usr/lib/python-support One idea might be to check whether this file exists and ignore any packages which install files to the directories listed on the "BIND_MOUNTS" directory (note that this file is a snippet of shell script read by /etc/init.d/pymaemo-optify). Or you can hard code this list somewhere, and you will get at least most Python packages ignored. As with every heuristics, we can't get 100% of cases, and others will need to have to be manually opted-out.
