[issue12119] distutils and python -B

[Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis]

Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis <Arfrever.FTA at GMail.Com> added the comment:

Please don't backport this change to distutils without backporting --no-compile options to "build" command in distutils (issue #13400). Otherwise users would lose possibility of disabling byte-compilation during running this command.

distutils tests could use locally modified environment with PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE variable removed.
