a good question :-)

i always thought that .pyc is more optimized than .pyo an therefore
and to install not so much (not really necessary?) files i removed all
.pyo's from my ports. ok! today i looked at python.org and read that
my thoughts are basically wrong but:

"When the Python interpreter is invoked with the -O flag, optimized
  code is generated and stored in .pyo files. The optimizer currently
  doesn't help much; it only removes assert statements. When -O is used,
  all bytecode is optimized; .pyc files are ignored and .py files are
  compiled to optimized bytecode."

more here:

so i still think it's a too minor optimization to install .pyo file too.
