[pierre.raybaut](https://code.google.com/u/pierre.raybaut/) on 2010-09-22T13:42:49Z_\n\nThis has been changed in mercurial repository: Spyder was optimizing its own bytecode after each update -- this was sometimes requiring administrative privileges.\r\n\r\nNow you may do the same thing by typing:\r\nsudo python spyder.py --optimize\n\n**Status:** Fixed  \n"}}
