The \module{py_compile} module provides a single function to generate
|
|
a byte-code file from a source file.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{compile}{file\optional{, cfile\optional{, dfile}}}
|
|
Compile a source file to byte-code and write out the byte-code cache
|
|
file. The source code is loaded from the file name \var{file}. The
|
|
byte-code is written to \var{cfile}, which defaults to \var{file}
|
|
\code{+} \code{'c'} (\code{'o'} if optimization is enabled in the
|
|
current interpreter). If \var{dfile} is specified, it is used as
|
|
the name of the source file in error messages instead of \var{file}.

|
