I am not against including it, but depending on how packaging works in 
Debian it could be possible to call pycompile with a proper exclusion list 
instead. The PR itself only works by accident, there are also files in 
project_template (namely the settings file and urls) which also should not 
get compiled (even if they are valid). So if you want to include the PR, 
please make sure it properly works for __all__ package data, not just the 
one with invalid data.

That said, the amount of issues I have seen in #django due to the 
debundling of pip in debian/ubuntu is not something I can count on one hand 
anymore. Most of the time I just gave up and suggested to install pip 
manually, all problems gone. The syntax error has popped up three times so 
far (iirc) and requires no fixing aside from educating people.

Cheers,
Florian
