That would be fairly Pythonic in the same way that .pyc's are handled.
Especially if there were no complaints when write access wasn't available.

The .psp vs. .py ambiguity seems to be the biggest item. WebKit currently
will refuse to serve a file with more than one extension available. I would
consider retooling that policy if it helps out PSP and TS and whatever
other processes want to do Python compilation.
