  The way you do it currently is fine. If people don't want pyc, they
  can freely delete them.

  I don't think this is a good idea not to ship .py files since we
  can consider them as executables (like binaries) and pyc are
  just optimized binaries.

  The only change you may do is to ask for pyc generation at install
  time.

  Cheers,
