If somebody feels like scripting a bit, it should be possible to fairly

Unfortunately this is not that precise. Attached is a list of packages from
the x86_64 repo which contain .py files without .pyc or .pyo files. The file
list has 0.5 MB so I am not posting it here. Use rpm -qpl or ask me off list
if you are interested or owner of one of those packages. To me it looks like
all those files are not failing to be compiled but are just not even tried to
be compiled.
Yup, there's one other cause for missing python byte-compilations: missing
python in the buildroot, in which case the script will just silently exit.
That's the reason for the big pile of yum-utils subpackages showing up on
the list:

The missing BuildRequires doesn't only miss byte-compilation (which can in
turn leave leftover *.py[co] files), it'll also cause missing
dependencies. So that's something to watch out for. Yum-utils I just
fixed to buildrequire python.
