Yes, the .pyc files are all there.  My initial testing was with python 
2.5.  The real test system used python 2.4 and its a bit different.  In 
addition to all the items above it also tries to delete every file with 
a .so extension each time it runs.  Obviously that won't happen as 
python is running as a user id and the python files are owned by root.  
However, there are no .so files to begin with.
