.pyc files...

[Dan Perl]

Ok, this thread has been going on long enough in this direction so I don't 
feel too self-conscious plugging my project (http://pyfmf.sourceforge.net/). 
I have yet another solution to this problem and my solution is 
platforms-independent.  Look especially at the "Mini Tutorial" on 
http://pyfmf.sourceforge.net/zago.html.  It shows exactly how you can clean 
up the .pyc and the .pyo files in a set of directory trees.  And as always, 
I am interested in hearing opinions.
