Well, I have not checked -3, however,(In reply to comment #7)

> - %config(noreplace) %{_sysconfdir}/pythoncad/prefs.py*
> I've only excluded from package prefs.py? which are commonly unneeded!
> prefs.py is a config file and is also refered in %site_lib/preferences.py

Umm.. this is not.
Generic/preferences.py says:
-------------------------------------------------
  1223      try:
  1224          _f, _p, _d = imp.find_module('prefs', ['/etc/pythoncad'])
  1225          if _f is not None:
  1226              try:
-------------------------------------------------
This means that Generic/preferences.py tries to import
/etc/pythoncad/prefs.py as a module. When this is done,
what occurs is...
-------------------
[root at localhost pythoncad]# rm -f *pyc *pyo
[root at localhost pythoncad]# ls -al
total 52
drwxr-xr-x   2 root root  4096 Feb  7 02:13 .
drwxr-xr-x 146 root root 16384 Feb  7 00:23 ..
-rw-r--r--   1 root root 18527 Sep 19 04:36 prefs.py
[root at localhost pythoncad]# gtkpycad 
[root at localhost pythoncad]# ls -al
total 60
drwxr-xr-x   2 root root  4096 Feb  7 02:14 .
drwxr-xr-x 146 root root 16384 Feb  7 00:23 ..
-rw-r--r--   1 root root 18527 Sep 19 04:36 prefs.py
-rw-r--r--   1 root root  1466 Feb  7 02:14 prefs.pyc
------------------------------
... you can see that prefs.pyc is created.
Python tries to optimize (i.e. compile) python script when
it is loaded as a module if it is possible automatically, 
and this should not be done under /etc.
