I'm was just noting that if the bytecode compilation is a post-install step, the config would have to be in the root user's $HOME. But in truth, that's not actually necessary, now that I'm thinking about it. The key is whether the .pyo files get listed in the installed files list, and that's determined by the builder, not the installer, IIUC. _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
