Python puts .pyc modules in same directory as .py module.  It is
a LOT more likely that you are filling up the hard drive with
temp files or cached files from the browser.  Clear out your
Temporary Internet files (if you haven't already) and change the
location of temporary Internet files to another drive.  Also
check c:\windows\temp.  That directory gets lots of crud that I
have to clean out.
