So here, we have our thoughts taking two separate ways.  I don't see too
much inconsistency here.  You do.  :-)

But, packaging the ".pyc" solves the problem...  Just warning that they
are not generated after the packing is a good advice to have.  It
wouldn't hurt anybody (and takes less time than we took talking about it
here). 


Be seeing you,
