Patch #1346572 proposes to also search for .pyc when OptimizeFlag
is set, and for .pyo when it is not set. The author argues this is
for consistency, as the zipimporter already does that.

This reasoning is somewhat flawed, of course: to achieve consistency,
one could also change the zipimporter instead.

However, I find the proposed behaviour reasonable: Python already
automatically imports the .pyc file if .py is not given and vice
versa. So why not look for .pyo if the .pyc file is not present?

What do you think?

Martin
