I think some support for this has been developed, at least experimentally, but I'm not sure if it's part of a stable release or not. It's more likely in Python 3.x, which I'm significantly less familiar with.

I haven't seen any such thing. If you need pyc files to reside in read-only directories, the best solution would be to generate them at install time (when you have write access to the directories).

Antoine.
