[Tutor] compiled Python Files ?? and a little OO

I created three simple files to test with:
*************************************************************
F1.py file and all it contains is:
print "Hello"
*************************************************************
Another file F2.py that contains:
print "JSmith"
*************************************************************
I have one more FX.py file that contains:
import F1.py
import F2.py
*************************************************************
My end result was:
Hello
JSmith
The results seem correct, in my opinion.
So, here are my questions. Although I didn't request it, Python did a line
feed between Hello and JSmith, is this normal?
After I ran this, I noticed that I had two new versions of F1 and F2; the
directory showed "Compiled Python file" as a description and they had .pyc
extensions. Why didn't I see this happening with my other tests? Is it
because the other tests imported Tkinter?
I understand I can run the .pyc files, instead of the .py files. Is this true?
Why didn't I get a FX.pyc file also... ? The first two files compiled but
the third file that imported the other two didn't.
A little confused... :-)
