The interpreter only leaves .pyc files when it loads modules, not when it
executes scripts:
$ cat <<EOF > /tmp/foo.py
#!/usr/bin/env python2.5
print "foo"
EOF
$ chmod a+x /tmp/foo.py
$ /tmp/foo.py
foo
$ ls /tmp/foo.pyc
ls: /tmp/foo.pyc: No such file or directory
So in this case, I think distributing the .pyc is unnecessary.
