[Starlingx-discuss] huge number of duplicated .pyo and .pyc files in packages

[Bailey, Henry Albert (Al)]

I didn’t see if anyone already replied to your email

Did you already try  updating your Makefile or spec files with PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE

https://docs.python.org/2/using/cmdline.html#envvar-PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE

That env setting exists in python2 and python3.

Subject: [Starlingx-discuss] huge number of duplicated .pyo and .pyc files in packages

Hello,

I have just reworked the package "starlingx-dashboard" to read source
from git.
At build time, I have 189 warning which leads to an error (badness >100)
which is well deserved.

Obviously I can hide the error with an %fdupes macro but I do not like it.

Do we need all those duplication in the installed packages ?
Could it be made a bit cleaner by the package owner ?

Thanks.
