how come a program that runs directly doesn't need to be optimized into bytecode first? Or... is it that the interpreter will just run the program as it goes by, without ever generating a .pyc file? So what if you have a program that you only update every few weeks... then you can ask a .pyc to be generated so that it runs faster every time? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
