pycache-wipe 1.0.0

Simple utility to delete __pycache__ folders.

pycache-wipe

pycache-wipe is a lightweight, production-ready Python utility that helps you keep your project directories clean by safely and efficiently deleting all __pycache__ folders.

These __pycache__ folders are generated automatically by Python to store bytecode-compiled files. Over time, they can clutter your workspace and may not be necessary to keep in production or deployment environments.
