Description:

Sometimes, namcap warns that a package should have architecture "any", when it contains compiled python (.pyo) files. But, .pyo files are architecture dependent. This doesn't seem to happen on all such packages. According to [1], .pyo files are architecture dependent.

[1] http://bytes.com/topic/python/answers/25152-pyc-pyo-architecture-independent


Additional info:

* package version(s)

3.2.1


Steps to reproduce:

Download and build this package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=21531
Run namcap on the built package. I get:

python-mpd-git W: No ELF files and not an "any" package
python-mpd-git W: Dependency included and not needed ('python2')

Weirdly, this doesn't happen on every such package. For example, running namcap on python2-urwid-1.0.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz doesn't give the warning.

(Or is it being cleverer than I am and only some .pyo files are in fact architecture dependent?)
This task depends upon

From [1], I get the impression that they are architecture independent, which in fact they are... There are incompatibilites between the files generated by different python versions.

Lol, yeah sorry for the noise. I seem to be getting quite good at reading something and taking the exact opposite meaning from it.
