Or maybe you have a better idea? What's the equivalent situation on Windows and how would things work there?
On Windows, this problem is easy: create the directory with no specification of an ACL, and it will (usually) inherit the ACL of the parent directory. IOW, the same users will have write access to pycache as to the parent directory.
It is possible to defeat this machinery, by setting ACL entries on the parent that explicitly don't get inherited, or that only apply to subdirectories. In this case, I would say "tough luck": this is what the users requested, so it may have a reason.
