Hi,
I am using some packages in python3.2 which create a __pycache__ folder. These folders is routinely blocking my updates and I have to remove the folders manually. Are any other among you facing the same problem? If yes, can I automatize it somehow?
Thanks
Hey,
these pycache folders *should* be created with a python setup script [0], which *should* be called in the PKGBUILD during buildtime, so they *should* be part of the package. If not, python creates them during runtime and messes up your system...
So the cleanest way is to write a setup script and send it to the maintainer.
The quicker way is to write a simple script, the checks your file system for disowned files. See: [1]

Or use pacmans -f switch to overwrite them.
Cheers, ushi
If, of course you know what you're doing. -f can do *bad things* otherwise....
