Please excuse me if these minor points have already been discussed, but I couldn't see them in the PEP. (1) What happens if the __cache__ directory doesn't exist and the enclosing directory is unwriteable, or if it does exist, but is unreadable? I expect that the byte code files will simply not be created, and everything will continue without them. (2) Presumably this only effects imports, not running python source code as a script. If I do this: python myscript.py from the shell, I would expect that no __cache__ directory will be created, just like today. BTW, you have some sort of automated warning in the PEP: System Message: WARNING/2 (pep-3147.txt, line 237) Title underline too short. http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3147/#id47 -- Steven D'Aprano _______________________________________________ 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
