Neither do I, but Ubuntu/Debian packagers want to share the source code of third-party libraries across Python versions while keeping distinct bytecode files (obviously). Again, that's the original point of the PEP as proposed by Barry. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
