Hm. I wish there was a way to find out whether the bytecode (or whatever) actually was read from this file. file in Python 2 supports this (though not in Python 3). Do you have a use case for that?  It might be interesting to know, but I can't think of a good way to infer that from file and cached, or of a good way to expose that on module objects.   Of course, it would be totally Python implementation dependent too.

The only use case I can think of is a unit test that would indirectly assess that bytecode was (or wasn't) read in specific conditions. You can safely ignore this use case.
