It’s a good question. I guess in the limited amount of time I’ve used the feature so far, I find it kind of nice to be able to type `python -X importtime` when doing general import profiling. The use case for the environment variable is more compelling IMHO which is why I really wanted to add it. I suppose typing `PYTHONPROFILEIMPORTTIME=x python` isn’t *too* onerous, even if it is kind of a weird long mashed together word. I suppose I’m -0 on removing the -X option, and +0 on adding the negative cache. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue31415> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
