I have never heard of __vars__.  Do you mean __all__?  Regardless,
this should have no impact on the generation of pyc files.

When python imports a module and the pyc file does not exist it tries
to create it, and will, if the process has write permissions to the
directory containing the py file.

Does the directory you've created, pyfiles, allow write permissions to
the httpd process uid?
