Brett Cannon added the comment:

So the reason Python does the right thing at install is because compileall is 
used by the Makefile to do the compilation and it's run twice (it actually 
doesn't use distutils for this).

My question is what did distutils do before PEP 488 since .pyc and .pyo files 
had different names before as well? Did distutils build both previously and so 
this is a regression? Or is this a feature request?
