If such a module was available, we'd use it if that was the way to  
achieve what we want. We could write something like that on our own,  
but we'd be more likely to decide to just stick with Python 2 for  
longer because we're going to prioritize new features over doing  
"hidden" maintenance work like that.

So, we want the ability to ship bytecode-only versions of the  
software, but the specific mechanism for doing so doesn't matter a lot.
