*) Byte compiling: Why not schedule an 'at' job to do the byte compile?
The only reason I care about when the files are compiled is that if the files are byte-compiled in the rpm build root, tracebacks will contain references to the buildroot in the python filenames. I could do it in postinstallation, but then I'd need to clean up the py[co] files manually during uninstall which seems a little icky.
I suppose for "real" releases we could just not use a buildroot, but this is not too convenient.
Chris, please use always a buildroot ! You can set an option in the compile-all script that tell python to set the real realase path in the tracebacks. Regards, Dirk
