Addendum: these rules only apply to Python *modules*. AFAIK, when you call a Python file as a script, no matching .pyc/.pyo file is used or generated.
There are some clever tricks to run a .pyc file as a script. I think it is described in the Python CGI FAQ. Chris _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
