Terry J. Reedy added the comment:

I think we should definitely fall back to using the .py file.  A cache is an 
implementation convenience, not a language feature.

A student using an all-users install typically does not have admin access to 
delete bad .pyc files.  In Windows, a user install is by default hidden in the 
hidden %APPDATA% directory (location somewhat Windows version dependent).  Even 
I did not know until recently how to access files there.
