hmm... the ready to run contains 3 1MB pysol_xx.pyc files. The xx being 
some numbers. I understand that its not "compiel" but more a byte code. 
What I dont get is that when I run the src, which is only .py's, a .pyc 
is made for each .py, so how come pysol only contains 3 of these .pyc's 
and they are much larger than the .pyc's I get when I run the scripts. 
Is there some way to "group" scripts together into a single .pyc and 
then using python to run the .pyc?
