Unfortunately this is not that precise. Attached is a list of packages from 
the x86_64 repo which contain .py files without .pyc or .pyo files. The file 
list has 0.5 MB so I am not posting it here. Use rpm -qpl or ask me off list 
if you are interested or owner of one of those packages. To me it looks like 
all those files are not failing to be compiled but are just not even tried 
to be compiled.
