Remove all .pyc files from a directory
over 1 year
ago
Deleting with find is common, so there's a shortcut:
find . -name "*.pyc" -delete
I will have to check out pyclean. Thanks for the tip.

Thanks for the great comments, all.
I've been thinking more about this. The UNIX philosophy is that a program should do only one thing and do it well. So upon further reflection, I think it's strange that the
findcommand tries to do so much. It's great at finding stuff, but now I'm not so sure I should also be using it to delete stuff or execute other commands.Therefore, I think I'm going to go back to using the
findandxargscombo.
