Python pyc files (main file not compiled?)
<p>A pretty basic Python question:</p>

<p>I understand that when you import a module, that file is compiled into a pyc file to make it faster..? Why is the main file not also compiled to a pyc? Does this slow things down? Would it be better to keep the main file as small as possible then, or does it not matter?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>
