I have a question on the bug report #252134 "cdbs: python-distutils.mk
should remove .pyc files on clean". It seems that python setup.py
clean actually creates a number .pyc files itself, and quite a number
of packages therefore have code along the lines of
clean::
find . -name '*.pyc' -exec rm '{}' ';'
in them. I'm considering adding exactly that line to cdbs. The
question is whether that is too far reaching. I'm not an expert on the
issue, but it seems unlikely that an upstream tarball or a clean source
package should contain .pyc files. So it seems OK to me. Does anyone
think this change would be a bad idea, or does anyone perhaps have a
better solution for this bug?
