For PyPy: I'm not an expert in our import, but from looking at the source

imp.cache_from_source is unimplemented, it's an AttributeError.

Well, you will have it come Python 3.3 one way or another. =)

Sure, I'm not totally up to speed on the py3k effort.

2) sys.dont\_write\_bytecode is always false, we don't respect that flag (we really
should IMO, but it's not a high priority for me, or anyone else apparently)

But doesn't PyPy read and write .pyc files (http://doc.pypy.org/en/latest/config/objspace.usepycfiles.html suggests you do)? So I would assume you are not affected by this. Jython and IronPython, though, would be (I think).

This is a compile time option, not a runtime option. However, it looks like I lied, someone did implement it correctly, so we have the same behavior as CPython.
