Besides the philosophical and effectiveness arguments, another problem
is fragility.  .pyc files can be read only by the same major Python
version, so if you ship 2.5 files they can't be used with 2.4 or 2.6.
This may not be a problem if you're shipping a Python interpreter in
the package, but it's one more customer support issue if you expect
the user to install it.
