That's a good point (and an interesting one). Only two of the frozen modules are necessary (_frozen_importlib_external and _frozen_importlib_external, to bootstrap the import system). So for those two it makes sense to have them in the git repository. For all the rest it isn't necessary. The only advantage is that contributors don't have to think about them and they will be guaranteed to be there. However, if someone clones the repo they have to build Python, so the frozen modules will get created anyway at that point. So I'm fine with not committing all those modules. This will require that all those files be added to the .gitignore file. (I'll update my PR accordingly.) -eric ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue45020> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
