There is sometimes a need to ship python
egg distribution with
pyo files only. There is confusion using
bdist_egg command since it doesn't have any options to do that; instead, you can instruct
install_lib command. Here is what you need in
setup.cfg file:
[install_lib]
compile = 0
optimize = 2
[bdist_egg]
exclude-source-files = 1
Issue the following command to build egg.
python setup.py -q bdist_egg
Note, the egg file has only python byte code optimized module files (look at dist directory). You can read about compiled modules
here.
