Fun. Is it worth it? Technically, you can also manually reclaim all the
*.py files from your disk and still operate. You'd save roughly 2 times
the amount of pyo reclamation. Do you do that too?
Nope. But I have considered deleting the .pyc files when I'm in a crunch.
(I need the space, but I'm also developing in python and sometimes it's
handy to reference python source of the libraries.) That said, if python
was split so I could uninstall an rpm package that had all the py files, I
might do that.
Like I say, it's not worth it on my desktop. But on my laptop with limited
HD, there are times when it's necessary to free up a few extra MB to make
things fit. As you marvelously deadpan, Fun.
