Maybe it makes more sense to deprecate .pyo altogether and instead have a post-load optimizer optimize .pyc files according to the current optimization settings?
Unless others are interested in this nothing will happen. I've never heard of a third party making their code available only as .pyo, so the use case for changing things isn't very strong. In fact the only use cases I know for not making .py available are in situations where a proprietary "canned" application is distributed to end users who have no intention or need to ever add to the code. --Guido On 11/9/05, Osvaldo Santana <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 11/9/05, Guido van Rossum <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > You didn't show us what's in the zip file.
