Brett Cannon <br...@python.org> added the comment:

So sys.dont_write_bytecode is there to prevent bytecode writing but not 
loading. This is an issue for some systems (e.g. clusters) where there are so 
many processes running Python that they start to trample each others bytecode 
files and it leads to malformed data. If you set sys.implementation.cache_tag 
to None you stop all bytecode usage (reading and writing), and thus is 
"disabled" entirely,  not just for writing.
