During installation of Python packages (setup.py install or bdist), distutils puts .pyc files into the installed source directory, instead of moving them into __pycache__. This may mean that they are not getting used after installation (with potentially no way of getting updated due to lack of write access by users), and that source files that get imported during installation may end up with .pyc files in both the source directory and the __pycache__ directory in the installed package.
