The problem is, that if script name is "something.py", then
if any other python script in the same directory does 
'import something' (on purpose or because of a name collision) the
script will be compiled to pyc.

There should be no *.py files in %{_bindir}. If a script is supposed to
be importable, then it should be stored in %{py_sitescriptdir}, and only
a wrapper script should be kept in %{_bindir}.

The wrapper can be something like that:

#!/usr/bin/python
import something
somethig.run()

or

#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/bin/python -m something "$@"

Whatever the module expects.
