Second worst case would be if you upgraded to a new major version of python, i.e. from 1.5 to 2.0. In that case python would report errors about bad bytecode, and i'm really not sure if it would recompile automatically. But i think it would.
So... could python stop reporting errors in such cases and just silently ignore the precompiled files? For mere mortals it's hard to understand that they can use the same package with ELF binaries for years, but have to rebuild python packages each time the python bytecode format changes. "Why scripts and bytecode files have to be in lib64" comes as next ;) Michal --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
