Hi all,
I spotted earlier today that there are a significant number of Cygwin
packages that seem to include __pycache__ directories in the package.
I'd have expected this to be an error, and any Python code to be
distributed without the __pycache__ directories so that the local
Python installation can compile the bytecode locally. Certainly
distributing these files seems like it would unnecessarily inflate the
size of the affected packages.
When the '__pychache__' folder or the cached files are not present after
installing the package, I believe the user may need to build them in an
elevated shell.
In this case I see no reason to not provide them
