\modulesynopsis{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
|
|
\code{sys.path}.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{compile_dir}{dir\optional{, maxlevels\optional{, ddir}}}
|
|
Recursively descend the directory tree named by \var{dir}, compiling
|
|
all \file{.py} files along the way. The \var{maxlevels} parameter
|
|
is used to limit the depth of the recursion; it defaults to
|
|
\code{10}. If \var{ddir} is given, it is used as the base path from
|
|
which the filenames used in error messages will be generated.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{compile_path}{\optional{skip_curdir\optional{, maxlevels}}}
|
|
Byte-compile all the \file{.py} files found along \code{sys.path}.
|
|
If \var{skip_curdir} is true (the default), the current directory is
|
|
not included in the search. The \var{maxlevels} parameter defaults
|
|
to \code{0} and is passed to the \function{compile_dir()} function.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
