As the SUSE guy, i don't care either way. This has simply no benefits or
drawbacks for us.

This solution can only be beneficial in systems like Debian's
python-support, where you byte-compile when installing. We byte-compile
at build time, so if we wanted to support more than one python within
one package, we would need to distribute a rpm full of different .pycs
for all supported python versions. Yes, that was not possible before and
it is possible with this PEP, but there is no sense in doing it ;)

That said, i don't particularly care whether the installed pycs are in a
separate __pycache__ directory or next to their sources.
(there were very good arguments in the other thread against subdir
clutter, one more from me: each subdirectory has a separate entry in rpm
database, so by creating subdir clutter you're also cluttering our
packaging system)

+0 from me
