In mod_python 3.3, the new module importer does not use the standard
Python module importer mechanisms for dealing with file based modules
which are to be candidates for module reloading. As a consequence, you
will no longer see .pyc or .pyo files. Such files were often a security hole
anyway, as many didn't properly setup Apache so as to prevent users
from downloading them. As a consequence, someone could decompile
them and perhaps get sensitive information out of them.
