Usability is _always_ more important than some rules. So if
the *.py files bring _any_ added value to the workstation (not
development machine) they should be packaged regardless of 'purity'.
Existence of alternate runtime environment that make use of them is enough.
So the only question remaining is not 'if' to package but 'how' - I
don't use python, but it must not be overcomplicated - for the time
being other distros might have worked it out.
