Summary: incorrect traceback filename from pyc

Initial Comment:
The .pyc file apparently caches the entire path of the source file during 
compilation, causing it to report improper path information if the 
resulting code is moved and an exception occurs.

$ python
Python 2.3.3 (#1, Oct 18 2004, 16:10:24) 
[GCC 3.3.4 20040623 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.4-r1, ssp-3.3.2-2, pie-8.7.6)] 
on linux2

IMO, this is not a bug.  A pyc file has no way of knowing
the future locations of the source that originally created it.
