Éric Araujo <mer...@netwok.org> added the comment: Discussion summary: - clean is supposed to remove the products of build - build_ext is a subcommand of build - build_ext with the inplace option writes files that are not removed by clean - removing .pyc files is out of scope (they’re products of normal Python behavior, not related to distutils) → I’m reclassifying this as a distutils2 feature request concerning the products of build_ext --inplace.
I’m not sure whether we should remove those products when the --all option is given to clean, or add a new option that we could enable by default. ---------- assignee: tarek -> components: +Distutils2 -Distutils stage: -> needs patch title: Distutils doesn't remove .pyc files -> distutils2 clean command: Remove extension modules built in-place versions: +3rd party -Python 2.7, Python 3.1 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6142> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
