When a module is imported for the first time (or when the source is more
recent than the current compiled file) a .pyc fileshould be created, in the
same directory as the .py file, containing the compiled code.

If your .pyc's aren't being created, this is probably a permissions problem
with the directory, or similar. This can happen, for example, if you develop
as one user but run as another, such as if you are testing with a web
server.
