Fair point. Thinking about it again after some sleep, I agree. Next version will revert to 'external' rather than 'ready'. >Just curious: >Why do the buildbots run make clean before re-compiling? I seems like >lots of extra work to re-compile things that are up to date? I think the idea is to make sure everything is fresh, and avoid phantom problems from things that shouldn't cause problems, but do. >What does running 'kill-python before re-building python do?

Tools/buildbot/clean.bat builds kill_python.exe and then runs it. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16895> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
