Out of curiosity, are there many compilers out there which target .pyc files? After a bit of Googling, the only two I can find are: unholy: why_'s Ruby-to-pyc compiler Python: The PSF's Python to pyc compiler So… Are there any more? (as a side note, I got thinking about this because I want to write a Scheme-to-pyc compiler) (as a ...
Hello, I used python 2.5 and imported a file named "irit.py" from C:\util\Python25\Lib\site-packages directory. This files imports the file "_irit.pyc which is in the same directory. It worked well and did what I wanted. Than, I tried the same thing with python version 2.6.4. "irit.py" which is in C:\util\Python26\Lib\site-packages was i...
I've been given to understand that Python is an interpreted language... however, when I look at my Python source code I see .pyc files, which Windows identifies as "Compiled Python Files". Where do these come in? ...
This may be a noobie questions, but... So I have a pyc file that I need to use, but I don't have any documentation on it. Is there a way to find out what classes and functions are in it and what variables they take? I don't need to code, just how to run it. Thanks ...
Is there a way to make Python ignore any .pyc files that are present and always interpret all the code (including imported modules) directly? Google hasn't turned up any answers, so I suspect not, but it seemed worth asking just in case. (Why do I want to do this? I have a large pipeline of Python scripts which are run repeatedly over ...
Is there a way to change the directory where .pyc file are created by python interpreter ? I saw two PEPs about that subject (0304 and 3147), but none seems to be implemented in the default interpreter (I'm working with python3). Did I miss something ? Thanks ! ...
From the tests I've done, with the same version of python (same magic number), a 64 bit interpreter can load pyc files made with a 32 bit version of python. And reciprocally I assume. But is it totally safe? Can this lead to unexpected behavior? ...
Is it possible and safe to load pyc files made with a different minor version of python? For instance 2.5.1 with 2.5.5? My guess is that the magic number does not change with minor versions. If I refer to this file import.c the magic number corresponds to the variable pyc_magic ( equals MAGIC or MAGIC+1 ) The file comments say: Mag...
