This is not unusual. The user that apache runs as must have write 
permissions in the directory in order to produce a .pyc file. I'm not 
sure what happens under Windows regarding this, but if I want a compiled 
version of the module under Linux, I compile it ahead of time or change 
the permissions (rarely).
