This feature is unnecessary now that PEP 3147 has been adopted. The way it works in 3.2+ is that orphaned bytecode files inside __pycache__ are always ignored, while bytecode files that live directly in the source directories are always imported. This handles both use cases nicely: - the implicitly created cache files are ignored if their source file has been deleted - bytecode only distribution is still supported by explicitly installing bytecode files instead of source files
