should I distribute .pyc files?

[akbar]

Hi,

I am creating not-so-important opensource application written in python
for Linux. I have two files python source in src directory, named
blabla1.py and blabla2.py. There are byte compiled files too, named
blabla1.pyc and blabla2.pyc. Should I distribute these files (pyc
files) to users? If I don't distribute them, and user installed my
application into /usr (not writable by normal user) then run it as
normal user, off course, the python cannot make byte-compiled version.
Will my program runs slower in user computer then in my computer
because I have byte compiled version?

Thank you.
