I kept on seeing that each time I installed a Python package using
cswpycompile, it could (re)compile all the existing .py files, not
just the ones being installed. Perhaps there were .py files lying
around? Try to put a broken .py file in site-packages and reinstall
the package.

When I do that and install any package which uses cswpycompile, I'm getting:

Compiling /opt/csw/lib/python/site-packages/broken.py ...
Sorry: IndentationError: ('unexpected indent',
('/opt/csw/lib/python/site-packages/broken.py', 3, 2, '\t\t"is"\n'))
