Python can be somehow pre-compiled into its own bytecode making the
run slightly faster.

offlineimap, like many python packages does provide an installer so
you can use the offlineimap component in your own program with
something like:
import offlineimap.

So if you want to run offlineimap a more traditional way, you do
pythong setup.py install
