Ronald Oussoren added the comment: I also don't understand why the optimization level shouldn't be used when building 3th-party extensions.
Removing the -O flag for build_ext would be a regression compared to the current behavior because 3th-party extensions would suddenly be compiled with less optimization than before and extension authors would have to arrange for those flags themselves. That's fine on platforms using a compiler with a command-line interface that's simular to GCC, but the are compilers that don't (such as a number of vendor compilers for the various commercial unix systems). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18211> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
