are always replaceable, as long as the .py or .pyw files they correspond to
still exist.  So delete __init__.pyc (I'm assuming that there's also a
__init__.py file) and try again.

Of course, this is only a solution if the problem is a corrupt .pyc file,
which I've run into on a couple of occasions.  If it's something else...

Hope that helps.
