This can cause many undesired effects, because python programs will still be able to import these files, but dependencies like graphics or shared libraries may have been deleted by the package manager. Also, not being able to uninstall something is bad on its own. So, if anything, I believe INCLUDE_PYCS = "1" would be the only sane default, unless no package management was involved at all. And no read-only filesystem, for what it's worth.
Interesting, I didn't know that happened, sounds like a fair argument, I will make sure to set INCLUDE_PYCS = "1" by default to avoid problems like this, and let the user set it to 0 if thats what they want.
Best regards, Andreas P.S.: I didn't see patches 2 and 3. Is it just an incorrect subject?
Yes, there's 2 other patches, which are used for python3, but somehow I forgot to send them, it was 4 am my apologies, will send them in a bit.
