# We disable writing .pyc files here so that the invocation is more
# deterministic. If we get a corrupted .pyc file (for some reason) in the
# .runfiles directory the corresponding Python invocation would crash with an
# EOFError. You can try this by calling truncate(1) on a .pyc file and running
# your Python script.
# In the bazel sandbox none of the .pyc files are preserved anyway.
# Sandboxing also means that Python's entire standard library got cached which
# normally doesn't happen. That can lead to higher memory usage during the
# individual build steps.
