Éric Araujo <mer...@netwok.org> added the comment:

It seems to me there is overlap between sys.implementation.cache_tag and 
sys.dont_write_bytecode.  I was expecting sys.impl.cache_tag to be purely 
informational, and not actually controlling some behavior. “If cache_tag is set 
to None, it indicates that module caching should be disabled”: isn’t that the 
job of sys.dont_write_bytecode?

(The difference that I see is that sys.impl.cache_tag is defined by the VM and 
dont_write_bytecode by each interpreter invocation; I was expecting VMs that 
never want to write bytecode to just always set dont_write_bytecode to False, 
i.e. make -B redundant.)
