That is one point of stashing them all in a .__pycache__ directory.
After reading some articles about it, I've come to think python depends a lot on bytecode writing on the filesystem.
A purely interpreted Python would be much slower. Saving module code to the filesystem speeds startup, which most find slow as it is.
I wonder if it's good or bad. I find it so invasive, and that it should not be the default behaviour. But that's me, i'm sure most of python users don't mind at all.
Seems so. Complaints are rare. -- Terry Jan Reedy -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
