While we're listing personal preferences, I'm firmly in the camp that
belives Python should create .py[co] files only when explicitly asked,
never implicitly just by running programs. That way, whenever someone
explicitly has the created, they're also in charge of removing them.

Too bad upstream Python seems to have rejected or abandoned the PEP to
make this happen.
