that would be horrible - this is what our own legacy software
does. A maintenance nightmare. Think adjusting system time
or "cp -a spam.py"

Actually the docs say something different:

The modification time of the version of spam.py used to create 
spam.pyc is recorded in spam.pyc, and the .pyc file is ignored if 
these don’t match.
