pyc files are the compiled/bytecode version of its py file. pyc generally faster for python to run

bytecode is usually a set instruction that behave exactly like the program. something like assembly language but specific to python or other interpeeted language.
pyc is generated by python using your py files, simply changing extension of your source code will not make it into bytecode.
