Since the files have effectively been abandoned, I think removing them should be considered now. The three files in /Misc, for wing-3, 4, and 5, are python-wing3.wpr python-wing4.wpr python-wing5.wpr The current version of Wing is 8.1.1. The files were last edited in March 2011, a decade ago, by M. Foord. The last contains #!wing #!version=5.0 ################################################################## # Wing IDE project file # ################################################################## [project attributes] proj.directory-list = [{'dirloc': loc('..'), 'excludes': [u'.hg', u'Lib/unittest/__pycache__', u'Lib/unittest/test/__pycache__', u'Lib/__pycache__', u'build', u'Doc/build'], 'filter': '*', 'include_hidden': False, 'recursive': True, 'watch_for_changes': True}] proj.file-type = 'shared' *4.* is the same except for the version comment. Both are specialized for working with Lib/unittest, failing to exclude most of the other __pycache__ directories. I wonder whether current Wing now knows that it should ignore __cache__ directories. (I considered emailing supp...@wingware.com, but decided to wait.) In the absence of more comments, we could inquire on python-dev. In 2019, these .ini-format configuration data files were marked as executable scripts. I believe that this was a mistake. ---------- nosy: +terry.reedy _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue23469> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
