@ -11,8 +11,13 @@ 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``.
This module may also be used as a script (using the :option:`-m` Python flag) to
compile Python sources. Directories to recursively traverse (passing
:option:`-l` stops the recursive behavior) for sources are listed on the command
line. If no arguments are given, the invocation is equivalent to ``-l
sys.path``. Printing lists of the files compiled can be disabled with the
:option:`-q` flag. In addition, the :option:`-x` option takes a regular
expression argument. All files that match the expression will be skipped.
