[New-bugs-announce] [issue2556] changing sys.dont_write_bytecode has not effect

[Benjamin Peterson]

New submission from Benjamin Peterson <musiccomposition at gmail.com>:

According to the 2.6 docs, says you can set it yourself to control
bytecode generation. That doesn't work because the dont_write_bytecode
flag is set from command option and never looked at again. Either we
should remove this misleading information or use PySys_GetObject in
pythonrun.c where the flag is used.
