I miss your point, msg271515  said earlier "the patch removes all *.py files".
The patch does a sourceless distribution: no source and no __pycache__ files (with the exception mentionned in msg271515).
Changing the issue title with '--enable-sourceless-distribution' which is a better name and would have maybe avoided this confusion :)

----------
title: add the '--enable-legacy-pyc-files' option to configure -> add the '--enable-sourceless-distribution' option to configure
