Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Documentation Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Joe Wreschnig (piman) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Please document pyc format guarantees Initial Comment: There's conventional wisdom that .pyc files are compatible within a single minor revision of Python, but I can't find any documentation that says this explicitly. This assumption is important to Debian's Python packaging policy, so if it's true, could it be documented somewhere (probably the marshal or compileall module documentation)? Thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Neal Norwitz (nnorwitz) Date: 2006-01-04 21:52 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=33168 It is documented here: http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0006.html Is that sufficient? It's also effectively documented here: http://svn.python.org/projects/python/trunk/Python/import.c That is a list of all magic numbers which denote the python revision. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1395511&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
