Python 3.2 has changed the way in which byte-compiled files are stored and searched for, introducing the new concept of a cache directory `__pycache__' where version-specific byte-compiled files can be stored, for many different python versions and implementations at once:
<http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3147/> This bit (from the "Proposal" section) is mostly relevant to us: ``.pyc file outside of __pycache__ will only be imported if the .py source file is missing.'' This means that the byte-compiled files installed by the Python support in Automake will not be used by newer (>= 3.2) python versions :-( Luckily for us, this is "just" an optimization issue, not a correctness one: python 3.2 and later will simply use the *.py files installed by automake, the only downside being that it will have to recompile them on the fly each time. Nonetheless, I think this issue should be fixed in automake 1.12. Regards, Stefano
