I always noticed that directory in gnulib/pygnulib. I assumed it was my LSP or something causing it... Now looking into this, I think Python creates it upon executing a script and/or doing 'import module-name'. It looks like it can be turned off with 'python3 -B' or setting the PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE environment variable to a non-empty string [1] [2]. Since I always used a separate gnulib clone that wasn't in a subdirectory (data caps unfortunately), I never ran into this issue. Time for me to test my hypothesis and hope I didn't speak too soon. :) [1] https://docs.python.org/3/using/cmdline.html#cmdoption-B [2] https://docs.python.org/3/using/cmdline.html#envvar-PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE Collin
