Michael Herrmann <mherrmann.at@gmail.com> added the comment: Hi, I need to use a third-party library that ships as a mixture of .pyc and .pyo files. I found it a little surprising and inconvenient that I have to set the -O flag just to read .pyo files. I don't mind whether .pyc or .pyo files are being created during compilation, I just want to be able to read from both .pyc and .pyo files without having to use the -O flag. Can somebody fix this? I unfortunately have absolutely no clue how. Thanks! ---------- components: +Interpreter Core -Documentation nosy: +mherrmann.at _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12982> _______________________________________
