Ah well, why not check this in. A script to remove all .pyc files in a folder hierarchy.

Mac/scripts/zappycfiles.py

+# Zap .pyc files
+import os
+import sys
+
+doit = 1
+
+def main():
+	if os.name == 'mac':
+		import macfs
+		fss, ok = macfs.GetDirectory('Directory to zap pyc files in')
+		if not ok:
+			sys.exit(0)
+		dir = fss.as_pathname()
+		zappyc(dir)
+	else:
+		if not sys.argv[1:]:
+			print 'Usage: zappyc dir ...'
+			sys.exit(1)
+		for dir in sys.argv[1:]:
+			zappyc(dir)
+
+def zappyc(dir):
+	os.path.walk(dir, walker, None)
+	
+def walker(dummy, top, names):
+	for name in names:
+		if name[-4:] == '.pyc':
+			path = os.path.join(top, name)
+			print 'Zapping', path
+			if doit:
+				os.unlink(path)
