Why are .pyc files inside the Python_scripts folder?

[leilaicruz]

Inside the Python_scripts folder , with capital P , there is the following structure: . └── python_modules └── pycache ├── chromosome_and_gene_positions.cpython-37.pyc ├── chromosome_names_in_files.cpython-37.pyc ├── dataframe_from_pergene.cpython-37.pyc ├── essential_genes_names.cpython-37.pyc ├── gene_names.cpython-37.pyc └── read_sgdfeatures.cpython-37.pyc which is a python cache from the the python scripts from the python_modules folder inside the python_scripts folder. This is particularly confusing because there are two folders now with the name of python scripts .....

Do you know @mwakok why is that? is there a way to prevent this from happening?

It seems they are only local files that are automatically generated once the scripts associated to them is executed. Those .pyc files are also part of the gitignore file meaning that they wont be tracked by git so they wont be pushed to the remote.
I solved the issue by locally deleting the folder.
