This module provides some utility functions to support installing Python libraries. These
functions compile Python source files in a directory tree, allowing users without permission
to write to the libraries to take advantage of cached byte-code files.
The source file for this module may also be used as a script to compile Python sources in
directories named on the command line or in sys.path.
-
| compile_dir( |
dir[, maxlevels[, ddir[,
force[, rx[, quiet]]]]]) |
- Recursively descend the directory tree named by dir, compiling all .py files along the way. The maxlevels parameter is used to
limit the depth of the recursion; it defaults to
10. If ddir is
given, it is used as the base path from which the filenames used in error messages will be
generated. If force is true, modules are re-compiled even if the timestamps are
up to date.
If rx is given, it specifies a regular expression of file names to exclude
from the search; that expression is searched for in the full path.
If quiet is true, nothing is printed to the standard output in normal
operation.
-
| compile_path( |
[skip_curdir[, maxlevels[,
force]]]) |
- Byte-compile all the .py files found along
sys.path.
If skip_curdir is true (the default), the current directory is not included in
the search. The maxlevels and force parameters default to 0
and are passed to the compile_dir() function.
