From 2a0f4038a4919712a62031dc63aa871a84b4ad05 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jani Nikula Date: Tue, 31 Jan 2017 20:18:05 +0200 Subject: Documentation/sphinx: prevent generation of .pyc files in the source tree Use PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1 to prevent python from creating .pyc files in the source tree. Python 3.2 has a __pycache__ scheme [1], but before that the only alternative seems to be to copy the source files to the build tree to ensure the .pyc files are created there too. Just prevent .pyc file generation for simplicity. Considering the small amount of python code to compile (assuming sphinx itself has .pyc around), the impact on build is neglible.
