Unstated assumption: .pyc files are often larger than corresponding .py
files.  With comments stripped, the .py file would definitely be smaller.

Otoh, .pyc files are easier to work with in some ways and where the size
contribution of libraries is not an issue, .pyc files are great in this
application.
