How to handle *.pyc and other cache files

1

First, I should mention that I am not a Python developer and my knowledge is limited.

I’ve noticed that some applications remove the *.pyc files from Flatpak, while others keep them.

Removing these types of cached files usually reduces the size of Flatpak.

Some developers say this could affect the app’s performance.

Is there any policy or advice from the Flathub side?

Removing *.pyc files seems to slightly affect application performance. Keeping them is probably a better solution. Thanks.
