You are not supposed to compile the main script.
pyc files are automatically generated when you import the py file (but
not execute it), if you are allowed to write them beside the py file.
When a pyc file exists, and it's newer than the py file, python will
import the py file from the pyc file, thus saving on parsing the py
file.
In effect the pyc file is nothing more than a file cache for the parsed
and bytecompiled version of the py file.
