I wonder if this could be related to a bug that was recently discussed
on the win32 registered users list?

It turned out that some process generating .py and .pyc files for COM
usage was so fast that the second time the .py file was written, it
has the same timestamp as the first time; this caused the .pyc file
not to be written.  Since the first .py version didn't have any code
in it, the .pyc file was pretty minimal.  Solution was to delete the
.pyc files...
