Hm, the compilation itself sets this variable:

Byte-compiling python modules...
dsextras.py
Byte-compiling python modules (optimized versions) ...
dsextras.py

And since we don't have .pyo files in Python package by default, they
are created for the modules imported by pygobject.

I could not find a way to skip the
  Byte-compiling python modules (optimized versions) ...
step through a configure option :-/
