distutils/setuptools creates .pyc files - that's ok.
here's how the problem occurs:
1.) distutils generates a .spec file with an %install that calls
setup.py like below. .py and .pyc files are generated, and are
included in the INSTALLED_FILES record. see below for what is
called in %install:
python setup.py install --single-version-externally-managed
--root=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT --record=INSTALLED_FILES
2.) rpmbuild is called, and it generates a shell script that calls the
command above. AFTER that command is executed, rpmbuild calls some
strip commands as well as brp-python-bytecompile.
brp-python-bytecompile generates .pyo files from .pyc but it does not
update INSTALLED_FILES (because that is a distutils artifact that
rpmbuild doesn't know about)
3.) rpmbuild calls into %install, and INSTALLED_FILES is loaded. it
does not include the .pyo files that rpmbuild created. since
there are unpackaged files (the .pyo files) that exist in the
installation directory that are not referenced in the
INSTALLED_FILES file, rpmbuild chokes with an error.
step #3 is where the error occurs. it's basically an inconsistency
between distutils and rpmbuild. i can run distutils to generate
optimized modules (.pyo) but that doesn't apply to my scripts. as a
result i still have unpackaged files...
