Terry J. Reedy added the comment: I think we should definitely fall back to using the .py file. A cache is an implementation convenience, not a language feature.
A student using an all-users install typically does not have admin access to delete bad .pyc files. In Windows, a user install is by default hidden in the hidden %APPDATA% directory (location somewhat Windows version dependent). Even I did not know until recently how to access files there. ---------- nosy: +terry.reedy _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue28007> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
