Yes, exactly the same, cpython always interprets compiled code, when a script is executed for example, it is parsed/compiled to bytecode by the interpreter before any execution. The .pyc/pyo files are just a cache created at import time to avoid the rather time consuming parsing stage. -- _____________ Maric Michaud -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
