I take it back... that could be the reason. I just checked and the path to the .py file is encoded in the .pyc. I don't know if it's actually used in the decision whether to recompile the .pyc or not (it could just be for use in showing tracebacks with source), but it's a possibility... pretty easy to test too. -Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
