The py_compile Module
The py_compile
module, shown in Example 13-10, allows you to explicitly compile Python modules to
bytecode. It behaves like Python’s import
statement, but takes a filename, not a module name.
Example 13-10. Using the py_compile Module
File: py-compile-example-1.py import py_compile # explicitly compile this module py_compile.compile("py-compile-example-1.py")
The compileall
module can be used to compile all Python files in an entire directory
tree.
