[issue8563] [PEP 3147] compileall.compile_file() creates empty __pycache__ directories for non-.py files

[Barry A. Warsaw]

Barry A. Warsaw <barry at python.org> added the comment:

Hmm. I'm not sure that getting a SyntaxError is grounds for removing the __pycache__ directory.  I think I will commit the fix without that change.
