Installing only python .pyc files onto the image #yocto

Installing only python .pyc files onto the image #yocto

Was wondering if there was a way to edit the distitils3.bbclass or a similar file to only install the python .pyc files onto a yocto image?

I saw something about editing the distutils-common-base.bbclass online, however, it was only mentioned and not elaborated on.

I am currently working with a setup that installs .py files, then generates the .pyc files and removes the .py files. I am now looking for a method that will only install the .pyc files.

Any help would be appreciated.

What works well in many recipes is to just move the source files into their 
own packages, e.g.

PACKAGES =+ "${PN}-src"
FILES_${PN}-src = "${mypythondir}/*.py"

That removes the py files from the package, but still allows you to install 
the sources to target if you need them...

If you don't want a "src" package, adding them to the "dbg" package also works 
okay.
