Yes, they will... are you suggesting to just allow the Sandbox to
overwrite these files?

This doesn't work, unfortunately. I moved the new files from
PyOpenGL/.SandboxInstall_Root to /Programs/Python and ran Compile
again, and exactly the same .pyc files appeared.

Since these .pyc files are going to be re-generated again and again at
both Compile and run time (and Python's FileHash will break anyway),
I'd just vote to remove these left-overs from the Sandbox, as that'll
give us a more simple and fast implementation.
