By using "python setup.py install -O1" you can tell
distutils to create pyo files.

Options for 'install' command:
...
  --compile (-c)      compile .py to .pyc [default]
  --no-compile        don't compile .py files
  --optimize (-O)     also compile with optimization: -O1 for "python
-O", -O2
                      for "python -OO", and -O0 to disable [default:
-O0]
...
