I'm a Windows user, too, generally, but the web host runs Linux.

I suppose, since the install does the compileall, that I could set all 
the __pycache__ files to read-only, even for "owner".  Like you said, 
those files _can't_ be updated without Admin/root permission when it is 
a root install... so there would be no need, once compileall has been 
done, for the files to be updated until patches would be applied.  This 
isn't a root install, though, but a "user" install.

Level1 support at the web host claims they never touch user files unless 
the user calls and asks them to help with something that requires it. 
And maybe Level1 support religiously follows that policy, but other 
files have changed, so that policy doesn't appear to be universally 
applied for all personnel there... so the answer isn't really responsive 
to the question, but the tech I talked to was as much a parrot as a tech...
