[Python-Dev] disable writing .py[co]

[Neal Norwitz]

In http://python.org/sf/602345 (option for not writing .py[co] files)
Martin suggested that in addition to a flag (-R, as in read-only),
perhaps there should be an env't variable and/or a sys attribute
which controls whether .py[co] files are written or not.

Opinions?  

If you like the idea of an env't variable or sys attribute, do you
have suggestions for names?  PYTHONREADONLY and sys.readonly_import?
