I am not sure that I understood this correctly. There will be a
__pycache__ directory in the following structure:

/usr/lib/python3.2/site-packages/foo/foo.py
/usr/lib/python3.2/site-packages/foo/__pycache__/foo.cpython-32.pyc
/usr/lib/python3.2/site-packages/foo/__pycache__/foo.cpython-32.pyo

But now when the user installs python-3.3, he will have

/usr/lib/python3.3/site-packages/foo/foo.py
/usr/lib/python3.3/site-packages/foo/__pycache__/foo.cpython-33.pyc
/usr/lib/python3.3/site-packages/foo/__pycache__/foo.cpython-33.pyo

The two directories have different roots /usr/lib/python3.*/ and the
module foo.py is not shared.

Where is the catch?
