That's where one is directly derived from the other. Edit the .py
file, rebuild the .pyc from it. Any dumb machine can do that... as
long as timestamps can be relied on, the hard drive is correctly
retaining data, etc, etc, etc. And guess what? Python isn't perfect at
it. I had a bizarre problem a while ago that came down to an incorrect
.pyc file in the stdlib. (I still have no idea how that came to be
incorrect. The hard drive doesn't seem to be failing, and the
corruption in the file looks more like a software bug than a hardware
issue.)
