== No more automagic Python bytecompilation
|
| |
|
| |
The current way of automatic *Python* byte-compiling of files outside Python-specific directories is too magical and error-prone.
|
| |
It is built on heuristics that are increasingly wrong.
|
| |
- This change provides a way to opt out of it, and adjusts the guidelines to prefer explicit bytecompilation of such files.

|
| |
Later, the old behavior will either become opt-in only, or cease to exist.
|
| |
|
| |
Note that bytecompilation in Python-specific directories (e.g. [filename]`/usr/lib/python3.6/`) is not affected.
