You should also read "https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3147/";. It mainly explains why "pycache" has been introduced but as a side effect, it points out a bondage between the "*.pyc" files and the major Python version: it is very likely, that a major Python version will not accept "*.pyc" files created by another major Python version. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
