I miss your point, msg271515 said earlier "the patch removes all *.py files". The patch does a sourceless distribution: no source and no __pycache__ files (with the exception mentionned in msg271515). Changing the issue title with '--enable-sourceless-distribution' which is a better name and would have maybe avoided this confusion :) ---------- title: add the '--enable-legacy-pyc-files' option to configure -> add the '--enable-sourceless-distribution' option to configure _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26852> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
