Examples for several > non-trivial files: Although I stand by this, it was pointed out on IRC that Python won't load pyc files when given -O, only pyo. So python -O needs to recompile everything if you don't have pyo files. Personally I consider anything running python -O a bug waiting to happen, but that isn't a universally-shared opinion. The new systems being discussed should hopefully make it easier to transition to optional pyo compilation (and I would hope, default to off). -- Joe Wreschnig <piman@debian.org>
