Thanks everybody for providing great input on this aspect of the PEP. I've updated the open issues section to include a list of the possible resolutions for bytecode-only imports. Unless anybody has more ideas, it might just be time to get a BDFL pronouncement.
Please excuse me if these minor points have already been discussed, but I couldn't see them in the PEP.
(1) What happens if the __cache__ directory doesn't exist and the enclosing directory is unwriteable, or if it does exist, but is unreadable?
I expect that the byte code files will simply not be created, and everything will continue without them.
(2) Presumably this only effects imports, not running python source code as a script. If I do this:
python myscript.py
from the shell, I would expect that no __cache__ directory will be created, just like today.
BTW, you have some sort of automated warning in the PEP:
System Message: WARNING/2 (pep-3147.txt, line 237) Title underline too short.
It's now fixed. Barry forgot to run the Makefile for the PEPs before checking in. Shame! =) -Brett
