Yuk! Not renamed to .py files. Distributing .py files that are actually bytecode looks like a new funny way to create confusion. No, I was half-heartedly musing about introducing Yet Another file extension (.pyc for caching and .pyX for importable bytecode, or possibly the other way around).

an alternative would be to only support source-less PYC import from ZIP archives (or other non-filesystem importers).
