Temporary download url:

http://starship.python.net/crew/theller/python-2.3.1-beta1.exe This is built from CVS 23maint branch, some hours ago. The uncommited changes I made are here, together with additional comments: http://www.python.org/sf/796919 Only slightly tested so far. Slightly more now, on Win98SE. Cool! I thought something was wrong because the install on Win98SE went faster than I was used to. Turns out that's just because we're installing 1,200+ fewer files than we used to (thanks to shipping all the HTML docs in a single .chm file). Everything I tried worked fine. I think the default should be not to compile .pyc files. Regardless of the default, popping up a DOS box during compilation doesn't bother me at all.

Great, I'll change it. But when there's an option to compile .pyc, shouldn't there also be an option for .pyo (and should it use -O or -OO)?
