The main point of the pycache proposal is to solve the needs of Ubuntu/Debian packagers. If you are developing (rather than deploying or building packages), you shouldn't have these needs AFAICT.

Maybe it's one point, but I'm not sure it's the main one. Personally I would benefit most from it during development. I hardly ever look in the directories of installed packages, so I don't care what they look like.
