I glanced through `pycmail' and decided to postpone for now, so I do not
have much experience to share with you.

The Python source is file `pycmail' at the top-level after extraction.
It does not have a `.py' extension.

For my things, I usually compile a `.py' at installation time and `import'
it through a very small bootstrap, to avoid re-compilation at each use.
Yet, I sometimes wonder if the extra disk accesses are really worth the
saving in compilation times.  Maybe `pycmail' does it the efficient way?
