| The library compileall has the option -f to force the rebuilding of the bytecode files so I thought maybe there could also be an option to delete all bytecode files which haven't a non-bytecode library anymore. | ||

| This would be risky, as byte-code only libraries do exist. I think that deleting orphaned .pyc files from inside the __pycache__ directory is safe, but deleting orphaned .pyc files outside of that risks deleting legitimate byte-code libraries which are in use. |
