Hey guys. I'm doing python development for a class of mine but I'm having problems setting up eclipse for it. I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 with Eclipse 3.7.2. The project I'm working on comes with .pyc files without any associated .py files, which for the python interpreter, isn't a problem. However, python itself is having problems recognizing these .pyc files in the package explorer. A folder which contains these files has the little triangle next to it indicating that there are subfiles/folders in it, but when I double click on the folder, the little triangle disappears, and it doesn't expand to show the contents. I have the settings set in Eclipse to make sure to not delete any unassociated .pyc files, which it doesn't appear to be doing, but nonetheless, it won't recognize them. It doesn't affect the way it runs, but eclipse always gives me errors whenever I import a module from those files since according to Eclipse, the don't "exist". Any help would be appreciated.

Also, I'm using PyDev 2.7.1
