There’s an upstream discussion about these files:

   https://groups.google.com/g/brython/c/gBseOPyY7II

   “the files brython.js, py_VFS.js or brython_dist.js […] are generated
   from the rest of the files”
   
   “In general, the brython.js, py_VFS.js or brython_dist.js are usually
   generated by Pierre after a PR or before a new release except if you
   want to check something specific in your own or if you want to create
   a version for your site with your specific unofficial changes.”

This suggests that there should be a way to generate them from the other
built files.
