Hello!
Out of curiosity, is there a specific reason that the lang/python3*
ports all include various __pycache__ bits while these were not
present, at least, in lang/python27?
this is a python3 specific change in how python deals with optimized
bytecode files.
We ship .pyc/.pyo files for python2 ports and __pycache__ bits for
python3, so there
is no change in packaging behaviour except from "sticking to the
default".
I ask because this seems to be a decent amount of fat added to the
resulting packages that I'd rather not have in the environments of
some personal applications I am developing, and I don't particularly
see a need that they these directories need to stick around. Space is,
unfortunately, an issue that I worry about. =)
Few years ago, we already had an idea about that. You can read it at
https://wiki.freebsd.org/Python/CompiledPackages. If space is a major
concern
for you (but a small drawback in runtime performance is not), let us
know,
so we put it up on the agenda (again).
Cheers
Marcus
