According to the 2.6 docs, says you can set it yourself to control
bytecode generation. That doesn't work because the dont_write_bytecode
flag is set from command option and never looked at again. Either we
should remove this misleading information or use PySys_GetObject in
pythonrun.c where the flag is used.

Sorry, I can't see what's wrong here. See import.c which indeed uses
PySys_GetObject to retrieve the value of dont_write_bytecode.
