First question, I can't seem to get any python bytecode to be produced. I've tried different techniques from chapter 30.8 to chapter 31 of the python guide.. I was under the assumption that after compiling a file, it would output a pyc file, but where does it go? Any help would be appreciated.
Second, Are there any other projects out for bundling python bytecode files, making it able to use a couple files to distribute an entire app?? I saw one of the effbot site but it's old as it was written for 1.4.. Third, can distributing code in pyc files, speed up the application? Or would speed increases only be seen upon application initialization? As an example, let's say I'm running an application server, would distributing the source in some pyc files with a bootstrapper be any faster overall, or just on init??
