This directory contains modules for a a Python source to bytecode compiler written in pure Python. To install the compiler modules so they're available for use by third-party Python software, run 'python setup.py install'. compile.py Demo that compiles a Python module into a .pyc file using the pure-Python compiler code. demo.py Prints the names of all the methods defined in a module, as a demonstration of walking through the abstract syntax tree produced by the parser. dumppyc.py Dumps the contents of a .pyc file, printing the attributes of the code object followed by a code disassembly. regrtest.py Runs the Python test suite using bytecode generated by the pure-Python compiler code instead of the builtin compiler. setup.py Setup file for installing the compiler code as a package.
