Puiblisher, and yes, I realized that the .pyc being sent was a result of 
MultiViews later on. My main issue now, is that my codebase which runs 
fine on my laptop, does not run on my development server; both are 
running the same software.

I've been trying to find some key difference in apache's configuration 
that may cause it, but alas, no matter how much I copy it doesn't work.

This is rather serious, as I have a client waiting to see this thing, 
this afternoon.
