Not all .PY files are compiled to .PYC during execution

When you import a .py file, a .pyc is created.  When you run it
directly, it isn't.  The thinking is probably that something that's a
module is less likely to change than something that's a script.  I don't
really think there's much stock to take in the difference; it's just the
way it is.
