A pyc exlusion for the python category is already in place. It's
activated by PYCOMPILE=1 [1], located in gar.mk [2] and currently
limited to:

    _PYCOMPILE_FILES=/opt/csw/lib/python/site-packages/.*\.py.

I vaguely remember we limited it to this directory, because
_PYCOMPILE_FILES not only drives the exclusion, but also the pyc
compilation on installation [3] and in some cases compilation outside of
site-packages was undesired.
