Hi...
It seems that python will accept a .py file piped from stdin, but not a
.pyc file (and there don't seem to be any flags to allow this). Am I
missing something?
Eg
cat blah.py | python
works, but
cat blah.pyc | python
Try for example: python -c "import blah"
doesn't. (If you're wondering why anyone would do this it's because I'm
actually intending to use curl rather than cat :)
The former works because the Python interpreter understands python syntax,
and when you (in the latter case) provide the interpreter a pyc file it
surely won't work because it does not understand those compiled bytes just
like that....
