If you fail to use -k, the zope test runner will delete bytecode for all your products - including mxODBCZopeDA, which has no .py files to fall back on. Ouch. I'll investigate further - there might be a bug to file
against zope.testing.

For development purposes of this nature you might drop mxODBCZopeDA in your SOFTWARE_HOME rather than INSTANCE_HOME which should protect.

Since I've come against this myself, I'd really like to know a single sane reason to ship just pyc files. Don't get me wrong, I like the product and will recommend it all day long, but shipping just pyc files is odd. Not only gives it a queasy feeling of "well, I guess they really don't trust their paying customers", it also legally prevents me from creating patches to help you guys because that would imply I ran one of the easily-available code decompilers against those Python modules. Even regardless of the ease with which pyc files can be reconstituted into readable Python.

I just couldn't come up with one good reason.
