the division between java (runtime) and javac is very explicit, the compiler catches a lot of things, in python this is threaded in a totally different way. the pyc files are just a "catching" system for the common python developer, as for the java developer the .class files are executable code. In python noone runs the pyc files, the interpreter takes care of this for you. > -- > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list > -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
