Not %post please ;-)

But I'd generally agree that the compilation might
need to be done on the install, not during the build, given
just the few hints of how python 3.2 is changing.

Another approach would be to not bother with static *.py* content
packaged in *.rpm at all, but rather let python establish its own
format/implementation for install/upgrade/erase of python code.
