Hi,

I am using some packages in python3.2 which create a __pycache__ folder. These
folders is routinely blocking my updates and I have to remove the folders
manually.  Are any other among you facing the same problem? If yes, can I
automatize it somehow?

Thanks

Hey,

these pycache folders *should* be created with a python setup script [0], which *should* be called in the PKGBUILD during buildtime, so they *should* be part of the package. If not, python creates them during runtime and messes up your system...

So the cleanest way is to write a setup script and send it to the maintainer.

The quicker way is to write a simple script, the checks your file system for disowned files. See: [1]
