Message 271562 - Python tracker
> and if the only reason is to reduce space by omitting the source, then it should also not install the source so the name is wrong :) I miss your point, msg271515 said earlier "the patch removes all *.py files". The patch does a sourceless distribution: no source and no __pycache__ files (with the exception mentionned in msg271515). Changing the issue title with '--enable-sourceless-distribution' which is a better name and would have maybe avoided this confusion :)
