Recently ran into some issues with Python compiled files __pycache__ and *.pyc files not getting deleted when doing git checkout. The files have been created when I mounted the folder as a volume in a docker container and had different rights than the current user. So, I needed to use sudo to remove them recursively in the project.
That’s when I learnt of this cool new tool called py3clean. Simply run py3clean <folder> and it will remove all the Python compiled files recursively.
