They are certainly not created by default, and strace does not > show them being used either. that's why I wrote to install it as /usr/share/urlwatch/urlwatch.py (note the additional extension). > (Plus you wouldn't want .pyc files in /usr/share/<package> anyway AFAIK.) lots of packages are installing .py files into /usr/share/<something> (IMHO all Python applications should do this and thus not pollute global namespace) and pycentral/pysupport handles it fine. -- -=[ Piotr Ożarowski ]=- -=[ http://www.ozarowski.pl ]=-
