Nick Coghlan <ncogh...@gmail.com> added the comment:

In Python 3.2 and later, standalone .pyc files are no longer created as a side 
effect of import. Instead, cached files are stored in a __pycache__ 
subdirectory and ignored completely if the corresponding source file is no 
longer present. (Standalone .pyc files may still be created explicitly for 
sourceless Python distribution)

See PEP 3147 for details.

Warnings for accidental use of standalone .pyc files will not be added to 
earlier versions, since there is no way for Python to tell the difference 
between accidental and deliberate use.
