New submission from Ammar Askar <am...@ammaraskar.com>:

Looks like checkpyc.py has been broken since PEP 552 was implemented 
https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/0e80b561d442769631d66f1cc8813ac30f97378e/Tools/scripts/checkpyc.py#L44-L46

It fails to read the 4 bytes for the `flags` field nor does it handle hash 
based files. 

Considering it's been broken since 2017 and no one has complained, it might be 
safe to remove this particular script.
