Is it a good idea?
There might be the occasional code that relies on doc-strings to work - seldomly, but possible. Which are obmitted by .pyo, but not of pyc. Apart from that, having only pyc-files (or pyo for that matter) sucks. Just today I had to delve into a ZOPE-application, setting breakpoints and getting things done. It would have been impossible or at least much more inconvenient to debug if I hadn't had the sources available (and put at a place where they actually get invoked from the interpreter, not lying around unrelated) Diez -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
