Can I see some writeup how -OO benefit embedded devices?
You get smaller .pyc files. In an embedded device, the whole OS may be written in a small memory, something like 64 MB or smaller. Removing doctrings help to fit in 64 MB.
I'm in support of separate flags for stripping docstrings and asserts. I'd even be fine with eliminating a flag to strip docstrings if we had a post-processing tool that you could apply to pyc files to strip out the docstrings. Another problem that I had while addressing these options in Debian was the use of .pyo for both -O and -OO level. -Barry
