Compiling from source at which point, though? In essence, that would mean reimplement Python/freeze_importlib.py in C? We could even compile it to a separate executable that gets built before the Python executable (like pgen) :-) Regards Antoine. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
