This should help :-)

PEP 304 was withdrawn, but those of us embedding Python need a way to put
.py files in read-only memory and .pyc files in a separate writable
directory. Short of resurrecting PEP 304, is there a known mod that I could
use for this purpose?
My situation is an iPhone/iPad app (http://www.sabonrai.com/PythonMath/).
Python source files need to be part of the app bundle which is in a
non-writable directory. I've found that even compiling all the .py files
doesn't work because the interpreter wants to rebuild .pyc files for certain
modules and I get an unlink deny error for them.
