If the .pyc file already exists and is being re-used, it contains the path. You
might want to go into whatever directory and:

~  find . -name '*.pyc' -print0 | sudo xargs -0 rm

And then

~  sudo python -c "import compileall; compileall.compile_dir('.')"

That should rebuild all of the .pyc files with the correct paths.
