It seems that since python 3.2 upstream changed the default way of creating compiled files: instead of *.pyc/*.pyo in the same directory that .py file exists, the compiled files are created in __pycache__ subdirectory. According to some googled information, the "old method" (files created in the same directory by compileall) still works in the same way. In case of the "new method", compiled files are searched in __pycache__ subdirectory only if source file exists.
I'm not sure if the new method affects only (c)python 3.2 installation, or all modules installed using distutils or so. So we have to decide how to package python distribution (and possibly all python3 modules, if distutils use __pycache__ too) - there are two solutions: - package all modules in source form together with __pycache__ subdirectories - stick to "old way" - manually py_comp/py_ocomp all python files, package *.py[co] without using __pycache__ subdirectories -- Jakub Bogusz http://qboosh.pl/ _______________________________________________ pld-devel-en mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pld-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/pld-devel-en
