.pyc contained compiled bytecode. They are created when, and only when, 
you import a module.  Imported library files are often big and stable, 
so their compiled forms get cached. Top-level scripts are typically 
short and often volotile. They may be as short as "from start import 
run; run()" in order to have as much as possible stored in compiled form.

This has nothing to do with Idle.

That must be the only one you imported.
