Nick Coghlan added the comment: As Martin notes, my concern is that I can go for years without having to touch the low level files (since syntax changes are rare), so it's important to me to make it easy to remember and/or relearn how to regenerate them.
However, suitable make commands (e.g. a "make regen" target, with "make regen-X" subtargets) would qualify as "easy to remember", and would also be amenable to automated testing in combination with a `make clobber-gen` command. (Tangent on target naming: I think 'rebuild' would be confusing, while 'regenerate' is a bit long, especially if there are more specific subtargets. 'regen' is just a shortened version of the latter) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23404> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
