I do not know how Python handles your use of a readonly directory.
What I have seen is:
- when a test1.pyc file is present, I always get the
same outcome (result1)
- when a test1.pyc file is NOT present, I always get
the same outcome (result2)
- the two outcomes are different (result1 != result2)
Do you see something different than this if you run the
test as I suggested? If not, how can in not involve the
.pyc file (in some sense)?
