I use a makefile to create distribution tarballs of freestanding Python programs and their documentation. I cannot seem to find the right command line option to just generate a pyc/pyo file from the program and then exit. If I use 'python -OOOO -c"import myprog"' it creates the pyo file, but myprog starts up and keeps running.
IOW, I need a batch method for generating compiled python. I know it exists, but I can't find it for some reason ...
TIA,
Hi,
take a look at http://docs.python.org/lib/module-compileall.html
HtH, Roland
It does - thanks. One more question: Are pyc and pyo file portable across operating systems? I suspect not since I generated a pyo on a FreeBSD machine that will not run on a Win32 machine. I was under the impression that "compiled" meant optimized byte code that was portable across implementations, but it looks to not be the case...
