[Tutor] site-packages and permissions to byte-compile

[Tim Johnson]

Hello:

I just installed python 2.5 on Linux/Slackware 10.0

I have placed three files in the root of site-packages
on my machine that is 
/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages

python appears to be importing this files with no complaint, but
they are not being byte-compiled. 

Note: I see that MySQLdb files are being byte-compiled.
Their ownership is root:root and permissions are 644
I've set the same ownership and permissions for the other
files to same.

What do I need to do to insure that they are byte-compiled?

Thanks
Tim
