Lordy, what hath I wrought!? ;) What the heck is a .pyc file and how are they created? Actually, I can see it's a compiled binary, but I where did it come from? I went back to my ~/python/ dir and noticed one .pyc file out of 15 .py files I created from following Learning Python the Hard Way. No one said anything about creating a binary. I know I discovered how to create/edit python scripts from IDLE. Is that it? I've been using gedit and emacs up till now. Seems the file with the .pyc file is the one I edited in IDLE. Is that why LPtHW eschews IDLE for gedit? Why do I feel like I've really stepped in it? ;) nb -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
