Guido has said he wouldn't mind it, but then .pyc files need to grow a field or so to be able to store what optimizations were used. While this would lead to more bytecode regeneration, it would help deal with this case and allow for more optimizations on the bytecode.

Hi,
I'm the author of this patch and we are already using it in Python
port for Maemo platform.
We are using .pyo modules mainly to remove docstrings from the
modules. We've discussed about this patch here[1] before.
Now, I agree that the zipimport behaviour is incorrect but I don't
have other option to remove docstrings of a .pyc file.
I'm planning to send a patch that adds a "--remove-docs" to the Python
interpreter to replace the "-OO" option that create only .pyo files.
