I think we should definitely fall back to using the .py file.  A cache is an implementation convenience, not a language feature.

A student using an all-users install typically does not have admin access to delete bad .pyc files.  In Windows, a user install is by default hidden in the hidden %APPDATA% directory (location somewhat Windows version dependent).  Even I did not know until recently how to access files there.
