Yes.. I see your problem...

try something else.... linking the files in linux...

Try this:

 - create a windows "run-directory" as in 'mkdir win-run'

 - create symbolic link in the win-run directory for each script
    
    - 'cd win-run'

    - 'ln -s /home/user/mypythondir/hello.py hello.py'

    - for every source file...


Now you'll be able to run both...

Under windows the .pyc files will be created in the
win-run directory and under linux in /home/user/mypythondir
