It seems like "setup.py bdist_rpm" by default creates an archive
containing .pyc files, so the RPMs it creates are effectively bound to
a specific Python version, even if no C-coded extensions are involved.

However I believe that if the .pyc is for the wrong interpreter
version, Python will ignore it and use the .py instead, so the only
effect will be longer startup time.Can anyone confirm or deny?
