# 2.5.13.39. RemovePYCs

class buildbot.steps.python_twisted.RemovePYCs

This is a simple built-in step that will remove `.pyc` files from the workdir. This is useful in builds that update their source (and thus do not automatically delete `.pyc` files) but where some part of the build process is dynamically searching for Python modules. Notably, trial has a bad habit of finding old test modules.
