if the command line/runpy can do it, the importer could do it. Just a matter of desire and coding. Whether it is worth pursuing further depends on people's perceptions of "kookiness" vs. functional and performance considerations.
Having .py files around that aren't source text could lead to a lot of confusion, given that most platforms these days decide which application to open for a given file based solely on the filename extension. I wouldn't enjoy trying to open a .py file only to have my text editor blow up because it was actually a binary file. So on balance I think it's a bit too kooky for my taste. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
