Um, I'm sorry, but that reply sounds incredibly naive, like you're not really sure what the on-disk format for .pyc files is or why it would matter. You're not even answering the question, except indirectly -- it seems that you've never even thought about the possibility of generating a .pyc file on one platform and copying it to a computer using a different one. -- --Guido van Rossum (python.org/~guido) _______________________________________________ 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
