There's nothing wrong with including the .pyc files per se, except they increase the footprint a fair amount. pyc is cross-platform, cross-machine, etc. The reason I tried including them is because it makes the install go faster (no .pyc compile step). If a significant number of people want a smaller installer, I'll take them out.
Thanks for the report, glad to hear everything's working for you.
They also break tracebacks, because PYCs refer to locations of associated PY files, which is how the traceback renderers look up lines of code to display in tracebacks.
