I'd like to understand why we think the Python compiler is different in this regard than a C compiler.
Python is a different language. But let us not get sidetracked on that.
The number one difference is that people don't compile code explicitly when writing Python code (well, except packagers who call compileall(), and a few advanced uses). So "choosing compilation options" is really not part of the standard workflow for developing in Python. Regards Antoine.
