When the Python executable is given a `-R` flag, or the environment
variable `$PYTHONPYR` is set, then Python will create a `foo.pyr`
directory and write a `pyc` file to that directory with the hexlified
magic number as the base name.

After the discussion so far, my opinion is that if the source directory contains an appropriate python repositiory directory [1], and the version of Python implements PEP 3147, that there should be no need for -R or $PYTHONPYR to exist, but that such versions of Python would simply, and always look in the python repository directory for binaries.

How would the python repository directory ever get created?
