[Python-Dev] pycache creation (original) (raw)

Is there a need for python to use pycache directories 100% of the time? For 2.x it seems like being flexible would be best, and if 3.x is going to be strict about it, it should be strict sooner than later rather than have a lot of 3rd party packages break at some point down the road.

For 2.x, nothing will happen, anyway (except for Linux distributions perhaps integrating a patch on their own): 2.7b1 is about to be released, after which point 2.x will not see any new features.

Regards, Martin
