python3-misc is a package. You can look at its dependencies to see what
it adds to the image.

Start simple. If you have python3-misc installed its using a lot of
space and is the sensible place to start with trimming things down.

Optimising to just pyc files is an optimisation further than most
people find they need and will be much harder to do.
