Terry, it seems that the doc I was quoting is for version 1.5.1 (http://docs.python.org/release/1.5.1p1/tut/node43.html). I can't find it in more recent versions of the doc. I should not have quoted an obsolete version of the documentation—I'm not sure how this happened. :)

I am not fully sure why -O is essentially required for running .pyo files: why not have the Python interpreter handle everything automatically based on the extension?
