Actually, I find it neater to have a single cache directory. It makes for much less clutter, and simpler ignore rules.
Another possibility would be to have a single top-level cache directory with a subdirectory for each version: __bytecode__.pycache/<version>/<filename>.pyc I don't think this ought to increase the stat call count, since the interpreter will always be looking for a particular version of bytecode, so it can just stat for the appropriate subdirectory directly. -- Greg
