It does not make sense (to me) to have byte code only modules and packages in python's lib directory. The whole purpose (as far as I know) is for modules and packages located there to be shared. And as such, the source file becomes a source of documentation. Not supporting bytecode only python modules and packages in pythons "lib" directory may be good.
Actually, it's not the standard library that's the issue, it's third party modules that OS vendors distribute. -Barry
