My install of Python has these py_compile.{pyc,pyo} files, and Jonas
checked that the binary packages have them as well. If one has these
files present in their Python install, the problem does not happen. I
don't know why these files are not in users' systems, but they should
be.
In any case, it's simple to generate them. As superuser, do this:
cd /Programs/Python/Current/lib/python2.5
python -c "import py_compile"
python -O -c "import py_compile"
