Category: Python Interpreter Core Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Toshio Kuratomi (abadger1999) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: pyo's are not overwritten by different optimization levels Initial Comment: If I invoke "python -OO" on a set of files, python creates a set of .pyo files. If I then realize this is an incredibly stupid thing to do because it removes the docstrings from the output and this program requires those docstrings python does not give me a method of overwriting the generated .pyos. I anticipated that running "python -O" would detect that the already generated .pyos were created in a different optimixation level and overwrite them with new .pyos. Barring that, I expected there to be a command line switch to tell python to overwrite the previously generated .pyo cache files. Finding neither, I realized that the only way to recover docstrings for people using python -O was to rm all the generated .pyo files. This seems like a bug or a missing feature. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1538778&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
