How we should deal with this
Ideas welcome...

AFAIK, the .pyc/.pyo file is architecture independent (at least for now). So I think we should put this line
python setup.py install --root=$pkgdir/ --optimize=1
instead of
python setup.py install --root=$pkgdir/
to provide pseudo compile byte-code and the optimized byte-code with the package.
