1) What causes this need and is there any way to keep them compiled?
This happens whenever a Script finds itself in a Zope with a different version of Python or RestrictedPython than the one in which it was last compiled. If you upgrade Python or Zope, or export/import a Script from one Zope to another (with a different version of one of these), the Script will complain that it can't use its cached compiled code. The effect of this is slight inefficiency; The Script compiles itself each time it is loaded into memory (usually once per Zope restart). It doesn't automatically save the recompiled code, since this would involve writing itself to the storage as part of some random transaction. Since it notices that it need recompilation during __setstate__, it has no access to its acquisition environment, and doesn't know its full path.
2) If there's no way to keep them compiled, is there a way to programmatically check if they need to be compiled and then do so?
I can probably make a utility script that does this. Cheers, Evan @ 4-am & Zope
