Yann, all,

> Python saves a pre-compiled support/scripts/kconfiglib.pyc file
> side-to-side with the corresponding .py file.
>
(or in a __pycache__ directory, depending on the version of the default
python interpreter)


> This does not work if the Buildroot source tree is read-only (but
> this is not an error for Python, which keep going OK).
>
> But this may cause  issues for out-of-tree builds in case the same
> Buildroot source tree is shared by many builds.
>
> Also, 'make clean' currently does not clean this file, and out-of-tree
> builds can remove it either, at the risk of causing issues for other
> out-of-tree builds running at the same time.
>
> Just tell Python not to generate .pyc files:
>   - call the script via python, don;t use the sha-bang
>
s/don;t/don't/


>   - thus, make the script non-executable, and remove the sha-bang
