The built-in compile() function has a "flags" parameter that one can use to
influence the "__future__" mechanism. However, py_compile.compile, which I'm
using to byte-compile code, doesn't have an equivalent means to do this.
Is this by design, or would this be considered a bug? I'm just wanting to do
something like:
import __future__
py_compile.compile("foobar.py",flags=__future__.CO_FUTURE_DIVISION)
but there is no "flags" parameter to py_compile.compile().
It seems like this would be fixed just as easily as adding a "flags" parameter
to py_compile.compile(), and then passing that through to the built-in
compile(), which is called inside of py_compile.compile().
