Éric Araujo <mer...@netwok.org> added the comment: Juste a note: currently, when a command sets one option from the value given to another command, they have the same name, with two kinds of exceptions: - build --build-lib becomes build_lib --build-dir (etc.) - install --install-lib becomes install_lib --install-dir (etc.)
So, introducing --(no-)byte-compile and --optimize-bytecode= would change that scheme, but it is not a big deal. On the third hand, maybe this is an opportunity to change the option names on the build_py and install* commands too. For example, for a long time I thought that --optimize implied --compile, but actually they’re distinct options. BTW, would these new options simplify some scripts you have, or do you just request them for consistency? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13400> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
