title: are there limitations on .pyc files?
body: <p>I was recently trying to make my own module when I realised a copy of my module had been made but instead of ending in .py like the origional, it ended in .pyc. When I opened it, I could not understand a thing. I was using the import to make a game from pygame and the fact that the .pyc file had a bunch of question marks and weird symbols seemed to be helpful for hackers if I ever make a game good enough for release which probably wont happen. I just want to know a few things about these files:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Can other computers that download the game still read the module if I delete the original and only leave the weirder .pyc file?</li>
  <li>Are they readable by humans and can they actually prevent hacks on downloaded game? (its not online I just don't want a easy game for people who know python)</li>
  <li>Should I get rid of them for what I am doing? (I saw other questions asking how to do that but the answers said it was helpful)</li>
  <li>Last but not least, will it work for .txt files (will they not just be read as a bunch of symbols)?</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
