Or maybe the other way around, do you have to explictly list the .pyc
and .pyo files in the %files manifest?

Could a slightly larger glob work around the problem?

For example, if right now you have:

    %dir %{python_sitelib}/mymodule
    %{python_sitelib}/mymodule/*.py
    %{python_sitelib}/mymodule/*.pyc
    %{python_sitelib}/mymodule/*.pyo

You could replace that by:

    %{python_sitelib}/mymodule

The above would include the folder, the .py files, and (if they have
been built) the .py[co] files as well.

Is something like this not possible in your case?

Or even fedora-packager, which has even more important stuff than
@buildsys-build.
