**Source code:** :source:`Lib/py_compile.py`

|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
The :mod:`py_compile` module provides a function to generate a byte-code file
|
|
from a source file, and another function used when the module source file is
|
|
invoked as a script.
|
|
|
|
Though not often needed, this function can be useful when installing modules for
|
|
shared use, especially if some of the users may not have permission to write the
|
|
byte-code cache files in the directory containing the source code.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. exception:: PyCompileError
|
|
|
|
Exception raised when an error occurs while attempting to compile the file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. function:: compile(file, cfile=None, dfile=None, doraise=False, optimize=-1)
|
|
|
|
Compile a source file to byte-code and write out the byte-code cache file.
|
|
The source code is loaded from the file name *file*. The byte-code is
|
|
written to *cfile*, which defaults to the :PEP:`3147` path, ending in
|
|
``.pyc`` (``.pyo`` if optimization is enabled in the current interpreter).
|
|
For example, if *file* is ``/foo/bar/baz.py`` *cfile* will default to
|
|
``/foo/bar/__pycache__/baz.cpython-32.pyc`` for Python 3.2. If *dfile* is
|
|
specified, it is used as the name of the source file in error messages when
|
|
instead of *file*. If *doraise* is true, a :exc:`PyCompileError` is raised
|
|
when an error is encountered while compiling *file*. If *doraise* is false
|
|
(the default), an error string is written to ``sys.stderr``, but no exception
|
|
is raised. This function returns the path to byte-compiled file, i.e.
|
|
whatever *cfile* value was used.
|
|
|
|
*optimize* controls the optimization level and is passed to the built-in
|
|
:func:`compile` function. The default of ``-1`` selects the optimization
|
|
level of the current interpreter.
|
|
|
|
.. versionchanged:: 3.2
|
|
Changed default value of *cfile* to be :PEP:`3147`-compliant. Previous
|
|
default was *file* + ``'c'`` (``'o'`` if optimization was enabled).
|
|
Also added the *optimize* parameter.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. function:: main(args=None)
|
|
|
|
Compile several source files. The files named in *args* (or on the command
|
|
line, if *args* is ``None``) are compiled and the resulting bytecode is
|
|
cached in the normal manner. This function does not search a directory
|
|
structure to locate source files; it only compiles files named explicitly.
|
|
If ``'-'`` is the only parameter in args, the list of files is taken from
|
|
standard input.
|
|
|
|
.. versionchanged:: 3.2
|
|
Added support for ``'-'``.
|
|
|
|
When this module is run as a script, the :func:`main` is used to compile all the
|
|
files named on the command line. The exit status is nonzero if one of the files
|
|
could not be compiled.
