supress creation of .pyc files

[Thomas Guettler]

Hi,

Is there a way to import a file without creating
a .pyc file?

Of course you can delete the pyc in my script after
the import statement, but maybe there is a switch
that I have not found yet.

The imported file is a config file, not a script.

The imported file is a config file, not a script.

You could use execfile() to read the file, and not import.

If you're on unix, you can put the .py files you want to import in a new
directory, then change the permissions on this directory so that you do
not have write permission for it.

That is part of PEP 304, which is not implemented
yet, and apparently currently stalled due to lack
of interest.
