I think in practice this is what's almost always going to happen for system Python source, either via your distribution's installer or distutils. I think most on-demand creation of pyc files will be when you're developing your own code. I don't want to have to run a separate step to get the benefit of __pycache__, but I admit it's outside the scope of the PEP's original intention. I leave it to the BDFL. -Barry
