Python automatically compiles .py files to .pyc. If you want to prove it
to yourself, just delete the .pyc and it should magically reappear after
Zope has started up.

If it doesn't, it means your out of disk space, or the user Zope is running
as doesn't have write access to that directory, in which case you can
either change your permissions or manually force a compile (which I won't
explain here as I am feeling too lazy to look up the functions to call)
