Thanks for the notice. I'll upload a fixed version later > Incidentally, the new packaging doesn't do what you want.

I expect that when the default python version migrates to 2.4 the python package will byte-compile all packages in /usr/lib/site-python. The issue of whether a package should or should not byte compile its modules has not yet been decided in the python policy. I'll leave it that way until a decision is made. -- Alexandre Fayolle LOGILAB, Paris (France).
