Compressed vs uncompressed eggs

[mk]

Hello everyone,

Are there *good* reasons to use uncompressed eggs?

Is there a, say, performance penalty in using compressed eggs?

Regards,
mk

Hello everyone,

Are there *good* reasons to use uncompressed eggs?

Plenty. Mostly that some things simply don't work in compressed eggs. See
the zipsafe-flag in setuptools-docs.

Is there a, say, performance penalty in using compressed eggs?

Not that it matters I'd say - only if you had an application that imports a
lot & runs very short time.
