I updated the patch that supports PEP 304, "Controlling Generation of Bytecode Files" to apply cleanly against current CVS. I've tested it on Mac OS X (straight Unix build only). I'd appreciate it if some Linux, Windows and Mac framework folks could apply the patch, rebuild, then run the tests (there is a "testbcb" target in the Makefile that should give Windows people an idea what to do). The patch is attached to
http://python.org/sf/677103 Now that I think about it, there is probably a file in the Windows build tree (equivalent of pyconfig.h?) that still needs to be updated. The text of the PEP has not been updated in awhile. I will try to look at that in the next couple of days. I'd appreciate some critical review by people with Windows filesystem experience. There was a comment ages ago about problems with this scheme due to Windows multi-rooted directory tree that I can no longer find (and failed to record in the PEP at the time). I'd like to see if the problem can be resurrected then addressed.
