Do not generate .pyo files By default, the Python installation byte-compiles all modules in two forms: the normal bytecode (.pyc) and an optimized bytecode (.pyo). According to http://www.network-theory.co.uk/docs/pytut/CompiledPythonfiles.html, the optimization do not do anything useful, and generating both the "non-optimized" and "optimized" bytecode variants takes time.
