[mod_python] Returned filename question

I see,

I have no .py's in my www/html at all, since I have used
mod_python.importer.path. index.py is a static link to the correct
python module in the configured directory.

I use PythonOptimeize On and I. What if I upload .pyc files to my
production server? Does it influence performance?

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.
