In a perfect world I would make pyc/pyo files completely optional and only an optimization that could not work w/o the corresponding source.
That wouldn't be a perfect world in every universe. For example, consider an app installed in an embedded device with limited memory -- the source is never going to be seen by anyone, and all it would do is waste resources.
If we're positing a perfect world, then all embedded devices would have the source code available and inspectable by any interested user.
Please. Seriously, can we drop this and stop complaining about top posting? I'm pretty sure "alt.general.python.chat" is someplace else. No one cares.
