Calling _Py_wfopen() is enough to check if filename is an existing
file or not. There is no need to check first isfile().

The pybuilddir.txt configuration file was introduced by https://bugs.python.org/issue9589 with commit e9b428f:

commit e9b428f9977f8733e6b0d2c321c093779f95080f

    Reimplement addbuilddir() in C inside getpath.c, so as to execute it
    at interpreter startup before importing any non-builtin modules.
    Should fix #9589.

The code evolved a lot since 2010 which made the isfile() call redundant.
