Proposed Self Contained Change: No more automagic Python bytecompilation https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/No_more_automagic_Python_bytecompilation Owner(s): * Miro Hrončok <mhroncok at redhat dot com> * Petr Viktorin <pviktori at redhat dot com> The current way of automatic Python byte-compiling of files outside Python-specific directories is too magical and error-prone. It is built on heuristics that are increasingly wrong. We will provide a way to opt-out of it and adjust the guidelines to prefer explicit bytecompilation of such files. Later, the old behavior will be opt-in only or will cease to exist. Note that bytecompilation in Python-specific directories (e.g. /usr/lib/python3.6/) is not affected. == Detailed description == [Change wrangler note]: As the detailed description of this Change proposal is quite extensive I am just referring to the Change Proposal wiki page: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/No_more_automagic_Python_bytecompilation#Detailed_Description . Please review the proposal following the link. == Scope == * Proposal owners: Make it work technically, propose the new guidelines, file pull requests for python3 modules that follow the current guidelines. * Other developers: Maintainers of python3 packages that redefine %__python should merge provided pull requests. Others may opt-in for the new behavior or explicitly stick with the old one (not a System Wide Change, they don't have to do anything). * Release engineering: [https://pagure.io/releng/issue/7315 #7315] * Policies and guidelines: will be changed as described in description * Trademark approval: not needed -- Jan Kuřík Platform & Fedora Program Manager Red Hat Czech s.r.o., Purkynova 99/71, 612 45 Brno, Czech Republic _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
