[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Provide a way to opt out from automagic Python bytecompilation (#434)

[Miro Hrončok]

> Why not just add an additional test for an executable bit on a \*.py file instead of attempting detection of within tree compilation?

What does this has to do with executable bits? You need to bytecompile files that are imported, not the files that are executed. The problem with current approach is this assumption:

 * if it is called `*.py`, it has to be bytecompiled with `/usr/bin/python`

That assumption is just wrong, as we explain in the Fedora change.
