[arch-dev-public] Python packaging policy

Hi all, A few recent bugs have highlighted issues with how we deal with compiled versions (.pyo/.pyc) of python (.py) files. We should probably make a policy on how these should be handled during packaging. Given I am the python maintainer, I suppose I should be doing this, but I am wanting to do some more makepkg/pacman stuff so it would be good if someone else wants to take the lead on this. Here is a couple of policies from other distros Debian: http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/python-policy/ Fedora: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Python If someone (not necessarily a dev) wants to help out with this, then it would be much appreciated. Thanks, Allan
