I only reported the .pyc name change, sorry about that. It's not the issue. Yes, I did copy over files from my old project, but only the .py files (not the .pyc files) and the old project does not have either a "command.py" or a "commands.py" in the same directory as they showed up in the new quickstarted directory, so I don't see any way they were copied over.
