F29 Self Contained Change: No more automagic Python bytecompilation
Proposed Self Contained Change: No more automagic Python bytecompilation

The current way of automatic Python byte-compiling of files outside
Python-specific directories is too magical and error-prone. It is
built on heuristics that are increasingly wrong.
We will provide a way to opt-out of it and adjust the guidelines to
prefer explicit bytecompilation of such files. Later, the old behavior
will be opt-in only or will cease to exist.
Note that bytecompilation in Python-specific directories (e.g.
/usr/lib/python3.6/) is not affected.
== Detailed description ==
[Change wrangler note]: As the detailed description of this Change
proposal is quite extensive I am just referring to the Change Proposal
wiki page:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/No_more_automagic_Python_bytecompi...
. Please review the proposal following the link.
== Scope ==
* Proposal owners:
Make it work technically, propose the new guidelines, file pull
requests for python3 modules that follow the current guidelines.
* Other developers:
Maintainers of python3 packages that redefine %__python should merge
provided pull requests. Others may opt-in for the new behavior or
explicitly stick with the old one (not a System Wide Change, they
don't have to do anything).
* Release engineering:
[https://pagure.io/releng/issue/7315 #7315]
* Policies and guidelines:
will be changed as described in description
* Trademark approval:
not needed
