After a build and test run I see files scripts/test_printers_common.pyc 
and scripts/test_printers_exceptions.pyc created in the source directory.  
We'd like to be able to build with read-only source directories, could the 
tests be fixed not to create .pyc files (e.g. use python -B) or to create 
them in the build directory?

Sure, feel free to do so. I believe you could achieve that by setting PYTHON to 'python -B' in Rules, or maybe defining a separate PYTHONFLAGS variable.

I'd love to do it myself but I don't have access to a testing machine right now. It's a small change though, so it shouldn't be an issue.
