Ned Deily <n...@python.org> added the comment:
In many installations, the user running Python would not have write access to the lib directory tree where the compiled byte files need to be created so we would not want to change the current default behavior. On the other hand, I could see some times when testing where it would speed things up to skip compiling. The issue of tons of output is really a more important issue; it would be useful to be able to suppress all those lines of compile output as they rarely provide any useful information, perhaps even suppressing by default. ---------- nosy: +ned.deily versions: +Python 3.9 -Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue37175> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
