Writing a pyc file is not atomic

The Python 2.7 patch https://bugs.python.org/file30324/13146-2.7.patch works fine.

It would help if we could backport it to the Python 2.7 in the upcoming EL 7.5 release.

Nice to have another patch that fixes a selftest failure too. https://bugs.python.org/issue31158: read returns 5 bytes only.

Thanks.
