Can you add a paragraph that tells explicitly that shipping or ghosting the .pyo file is packager's discretion? You should even precise that .pyc must be shipped in the package. Do you see why Debian do not ship .pyc files? It seems that it allows to re-bytecompile all .pyc files, when at a python upgrade, without bumping packages version. -- fedora-extras-list mailing list fedora-extras-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list
