Also, be careful with measuring space savings when working with *.pyo. It is a common case that *.pyc and *.pyo are identical, and when they are rpmbuild already hardlinks them.
That's really interesting, I've had no idea:
BTW I just had a peek into some Arch Linux Python 3.5 packages, and it seems they contain *no* identical *.pyc and corresponding *.opt-1.pyc files. This is bad news wrt the hardlinking. I haven't found any *.opt-2.pyc files to play with, so I don't know what's the situation with them.
