:mod:`compileall` --- Byte-compile Python libraries
|
|
===================================================
|
|
|
|
.. module:: compileall
|
|
:synopsis: Tools for byte-compiling all Python source files in a directory tree.
|
|
|
|
|
|
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``.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. function:: compile_dir(dir[, maxlevels[, ddir[, force[, rx[, quiet]]]]])
|
|
|
|
Recursively descend the directory tree named by *dir*, compiling all :file:`.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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. function:: compile_path([skip_curdir[, maxlevels[, force]]])
|
|
|
|
Byte-compile all the :file:`.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 :func:`compile_dir` function.
|
|
|
|
To force a recompile of all the :file:`.py` files in the :file:`Lib/`
|
|
subdirectory and all its subdirectories::
|
|
|
|
import compileall
|
|
|
|
compileall.compile_dir('Lib/', force=True)
|
|
|
|
# Perform same compilation, excluding files in .svn directories.
|
|
import re
|
|
compileall.compile_dir('Lib/', rx=re.compile('/[.]svn'), force=True)
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. seealso::
|
|
|
|
Module :mod:`py_compile`
|
|
Byte-compile a single source file.
