All modules no matter how small produce a .pyc file *when they are imported*. If you start a module directly though, no .pyc is produced. (Notice that Python 3 puts the pyc files in a subdirectory.) Why do you care anyway? Pyc files are an implementation detail. Irmen -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
