How about renaming the tag to package-installs-python-bytecode
and:
* checking for .pyc/.pyo files in the whole package,
* checking for .egg files in /usr/lib/pythonX.Y/ and
/usr/{share,lib}/pyshared[1] or:
* checking for .egg files in the whole package
if the mime type matches zip archives' one
[1] looks like egg extension is used outside Python world
