pyc files are definitely specific to the version of Python that 
produced them, though I believe that the bytecodes don't change very 
often (at all?) between minor releases.  I don't believe that the 
platform is a factor.

The way you asked this question is incorrect though, you really need to 
state more information (such as platform(s), python version(s), 
exception(s) raised, etc.) when you say something like "it doesn't 
work" or "am I doing something wrong".
