[New-bugs-announce] [issue43709] Windows Tools\buildbot\clean.bat misses some needed pyc/pyo removal

[David Bolen]

New submission from David Bolen <db3l.net at gmail.com>:

The Tools\buildbot\clean.bat script used on Windows only removes pyc/pyo files from the Lib tree, leaving some files beneath Tools (clinic and peg_generator) and Parser (asdl).  This can cause failures following commits that affect those files, such as fcb55c0037baab6f98f91ee38ce84b6f874f034a (in issue #27129) leading to subsequent crashes or anomalous behavior.

This appears to have been true for a while, though only the 3.10 branch ran into the issue, so any fix might also be back-ported to the other active branches.
