The remaining open question to my mind is whether or not there should be
a -X option to control the bytecode generation. E.g.:
-Xcache_bytecode=no (don't write bytecode files at all)
-B and $PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE will still be supported and serve this use
case.
-Xcache_bytecode=file (write a classic "foo.pyc" file)
-Xcache_bytecode=dir (write to the "__pycache__" directory)
With cache_bytecode=dir being the default for future releases.
I believe we've decided /not/ to support creation of bytecode-only
distributions out of the box.
I thought Guido said on this topic [1]:
" FWIW, I started at -1 and am still -1. I think the PEP is overreaching
in this aspect; it does not serve the stated purpose of the PEP to
make life easier for distros that share code between Python versions."
Has something changed since then?
