Keep in mind that the optimization "level" isn't constrained to just digits:

imporlib.cpython-35.opt-b01603b27537a88c593d429923081a813f66eaef7360a5040507b90e85d285b0.pyc

vs.

imporlib.cpython-35.optb01603b27537a88c593d429923081a813f66eaef7360a5040507b90e85d285b0.pyc

I think the hyphen helps in that case.
