Looks like the testrunner implementation doing the PYC "cleanup" is seriously broken. At the very least it should: * check for the existence of a corresponding PY file before simply going about removing the byte code file * ignore any permission errors it finds BTW, it is not uncommon to put PYC files under version control as well, namely in the case where you don't regularly switch Python versions and for files which you normally don't touch, so as the Python std lib modules. In such a case the "byte-code-remover" will cause you serious problems the other way around: because the byte code contains a timestamp, the PYC files will change with every recreation and thus Subversion or CVS will want to check in these changes every time you try to fix a bug... IMHO, it should be an option to remove the PYC files and not the default. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Source (#1, Oct 18 2006) >>> Python/Zope Consulting and Support ... http://www.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC.Zope.Database.Adapter ... http://zope.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC, mxDateTime, mxTextTools ... http://python.egenix.com/ ________________________________________________________________________ ::: Try mxODBC.Zope.DA for Windows,Linux,Solaris,FreeBSD for free ! :::: _______________________________________________ Zope-DB mailing list Zope-DB@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-db
