Hello automakers. In the first patch of this series I'll present the promised patch ensuring that the py-compile script is run with $(SHELL) in the automake-generated Makefiles.
While writing that patch, I've noticed (and plucked) a couple of low-hanging fruits allowing small reductions in code duplication, and improvements in consistency and error reporting. Also, I've added few test cases checking py-compile directly (not only through its use in generated Makefiles). The changes introduced by these patches should IMHO go in a separate new branch 'python-work' based off of maint; we can later decide whether to merge this into maint, or only into master. I will push in 72 hours if there is no comment by then.
