All python docs and description indicate that optimization (-OO) does not do much anything except the removal off pydoc. A single "O" removes comments and asserts, and with the removal of pydoc with double "O" option the *.pyo byte compile is left with pure executable code. I am experiencing a different behavior than described. I am running Python 2.6.4 and have source code which I pre-compile either into pyc or pyo files depending on the optimization switch selected. The pyo version fails to run with the main program module failing to import any other modules, such as failing on the "import os" statement (first line encountered). However, the pyc version succeeds and runs correctly. This is with the same code modules, same python VM and same machine. [...]

If you start the interpreter with "python" (no optimization), it will always look for .pyc files -- .pyo files are ignored. If you start the interpreter with "python -O" or "python -OO", it will always look for .pyo files -- .pyc files are ignored. Same applies for any implicit invocation, like a shebang line -- if it says e.g. #!/usr/env/python it will only search for .pyc files, not .pyo
Try the -v option to see which modules are loaded from where exactly.
