.pyc files in Django-1.4.4.tar.gz, Django-1.3.6.tar.gz tarballs

Description

There are some .pyc files in the .tar.gz at:

https://www.djangoproject.com/m/releases/1.4/Django-1.4.4.tar.gz

Then untarr'd it. Then noticed .pyc files in it:

(richard) saturn ~/tmp/Django-1.4.4> find . -name "*.pyc"
./django/contrib/sessions/management/__init__.pyc
./django/conf/locale/en/__init__.pyc
./django/conf/locale/en/formats.pyc
./django/conf/locale/__init__.pyc

They were made with Python 2.7 (pretty sure) so if you use it with Python 2.6 you get bad magic number errors.

Confirming that I see this issue after installing Django 1.4.4 in a virtualenv on an Ubuntu 10.04LTS server (Python 2.6).

Deleting the .pyc files fixes the problem, but of course they should really be removed from the packaged release.

find . -name '*.pyc' -delete

1.3 tarball has the same problematic .pyc files. 1.5rc2 does NOT have the pyc files.

As a note, this seems to affect pip install, too.
