I just did that...

[root at localhost python2.6]# ls -al asyncore.py
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 19262 Oct 16 10:22 asyncore.py
[root at localhost python2.6]# ls -al asyncore.pyc
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 16773 Oct 16 10:26 asyncore.pyc
[root at localhost python2.6]# ls -al asyncore.pyo
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 16773 Oct 16 10:42 asyncore.pyo
[root at localhost python2.6]#


And nothing happened. Ideas?
