pycompile

byte compile Python source files

SYNOPSIS

pycompile [-V [X.Y][-][A.B]] DIR_OR_FILE [-X REGEXPR]

pycompile -p PACKAGE

DESCRIPTION

Wrapper around Python standard library's py_compile module to byte-compile Python files.

--version show program's version number and exit
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-f, --force force rebuild of byte-code files even if timestamps are up-to-date
-O byte-compile to .pyo files
-q, --quiet be quiet
-v, --verbose turn verbose mode on
-p PACKAGE, --package=PACKAGE
 specify Debian package name whose files should be bytecompiled
-V VRANGE

force private modules to be bytecompiled with Python version from given range, regardless of the default Python version in the system. If there are no other options, bytecompile all public modules for installed Python versions that match given range. VERSION_RANGE examples:

  • 2.5 version 2.5 only
  • 2.5- version 2.5 or newer
  • 2.5-2.7 version 2.5 or 2.6
  • -3.0 all supported 2.X versions
-X REGEXPR, --exclude=REGEXPR
 exclude items that match given REGEXPR. You may use this option multiple times to build up a list of things to exclude
