Come on, we're talking several kilobytes. :) Debugging .pyc-only files 
is a pain, and some like to run with optimizations, so making .pyo 
becomes impossible without .py (afaict).

I don't really think that's much of a burden to have .py files included, 
considering that most python programs are really light on the size of 
the source.
