Well, Python does have a way - the way you have been using. However, as yet another way, you can set the OPT environment variable, to define the optimization flags to be used (and other non-essential compiler flags). > Better yet would be if configure could recognize the platform and > set the -O level accordingly. I'm opposed. Selecting such a thing by platform and compiler version is too transient to be maintainable. It would be different if the platform would have been around for 10 years, and had seen no compiler change for 8 years, but in this case, this likely is fixed before the next Python release is even made. Please report this to the system vendor. ---------- nosy: +loewis _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4594> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
