They're all compiled, but the .pyc is not always saved.  It will be
saved if, and only if, the .py script is imported (not run top-level) and
residing in a directory where the importing user can write the .pyc.

"Lack of .pyc" is thus probably due to either the script being run
at top-level (rather than imported) or the import being done by a
user that cannot write in the directory where the .py resides.
