Some people (Robert Schweikert) requested byte-code stability at the LSB meeting: LSB should standardize a certain version of the byte code, and then future versions of Python should continue to support this byte code version.
Did they say why they wanted to distribute bytecode files? I assume it is either for space considerations or they think it will help to protect their IP somehow. I explained that this is currently not supported, but would be
technically possible; somebody would have to implement it.
I guess we just don't remove opcodes and have import allow bytecode files within a range of magic numbers instead of having to match a specific one. What do you think? I am personally -0. I would prefer not to start supporting people pushing bytecode files around, but I am not going to throw a fit we do end up going down that road. -Brett
