Please excuse me if these minor points have already been discussed, but I couldn't see them in the PEP. (1) What happens if the cache directory doesn't exist and the enclosing directory is unwriteable, or if it does exist, but is unreadable? I expect that the byte code files will simply not be created, and everything will continue without them. (2) Presumably this only effects imports, not running python source code as a script. If I do this: python myscript.py from the shell, I would expect that no cache directory will be created, just like today. BTW, you have some sort of automated warning in the PEP: System Message: WARNING/2 (pep-3147.txt, line 237) Title underline too short. http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3147/#id47

It's now fixed. Barry forgot to run the Makefile for the PEPs before checking in. Shame! =)
