It is possible to precompile the bytecode (Gentoo does this).

python -m py_compile file1.py file2.py ...

or recursively do all .py files:

python -m compileall /path/to/files

If you wanted, you could disable writing the bytecode by adding -B to 
the python command, though that's probably not what distros want to do.
