Importing libraries in Python caches the bytecode by default. Since we run scripts in source tree it ignores the current directory settings, which is $(srctree), and creates cache just in the middle of the source tree. Move cache to the current directory.

This look useful, but we cannot rely on 'srcdir' being in the environment. For example, most binman development is done just by running 'binman test' in the source tre. So perhaps default to the current directory is 'srcdir' is not set?
