Comment (by barry.wardell):

 Replying to [comment:1 eschnett]:
 > If we exclude the .pyc files (as we did before), then old, outdated .pyc
 files for which there is no .py file any more are also not deleted during
 rsync. This then makes it impossible to remove directories if they contain
 such outdated .pyc files, leading to rsync warnings.

 Wouldn't the fact that we're using --delete-excluded cover this case? It
 would also mean that the pyc files are deleted on the remote machine every
 time the sync is run, but I guess that's better than syncing them from the
 local machine.

 Replying to [comment:1 hinder]:
 > Perhaps the "hide" rule will hide the files when rsync tried to delete
 the directory, and avoid the warning?

 According to this: http://www.mail-
 archive.com/rsync at lists.samba.org/msg22776.html 'hide' is just 'exclude'
 without 'protect'. I'm not quite sure I understand what the difference is
 between this and --exclude with --delete-excluded.
