[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Should __pycache__ always be marked as %artifact? (Discussion #3856)

[Miro Hrončok]

Hello.

I just noticed the python3-rpm package in Fedora has:

```
%files -n python3-%{name}
%{python3_sitearch}/rpm-%{rpmver}*.egg-info
%{python3_sitearch}/rpm/__init__.py
%{python3_sitearch}/rpm/transaction.py
%{python3_sitearch}/rpm/_rpm.so
%artifact %{python3_sitearch}/rpm/__pycache__/         <-- THIS
```

The Python bytecode cache (`__pycache__`) is marked as `%artifact`. Shoudl we recommend that for all Python packages and do it form our automated maxcros (e.g. `%pycached` or `%pyproject_save_files`)?
