Python doesn't have opcode cacher?

I'm currently using PHP. I plan to start using Django for some of my next project.

But I don't have any experience with Python. After some searching, I still can't find a Python opcode cacher.

(There are lots of opcode cacher for PHP: APC, eAccelerator, Xcache, ...)

Python doesn't need one the same way PHP needs it. Python doesn't throw the bytecode away after execution, it keeps it around (as .pyc files).

Python can compile to *.pyc files that effectively do the same thing.

It's automatic in Python -- a compiled .pyc file will appear magically.
