That sounds like the only place where this convention is useful.
How about .py files in /usr/bin/ ? We currently don't byte-compile the
.py files in standard PATH, but maybe since they will go into a
__pycache__ subdirectory, we can byte-compile them now.
Is there any "law" in FHS that forbids having a /usr/bin/__pycache__/
directory?
.pyc files wouldn't be used there so it's not relevant. (Not because
they're in /usr/bin but because the script being invoked is
/usr/bin/something.py and python won't look for a byte compiled version of
the file being invoked.
