R. David Murray added the comment: OK, I'll change the title to reflect the current proposal, and we'll see if anyone is interested in proposing a patch.
The bug with python -m py_compile is when you do: python -m py_compile myscript where myscript is a file containing python code (note there is no .py extension). In this case you will end up with: __pycache__/myscriptcpython-36.pyc (for example). This is clearly a bug, but should be reported in a new issue. ---------- title: py_compile disregards PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE and -B -> Add option to py_compile to compile for syntax checking without writing bytecode _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25303> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
