NAME

       pycompile - byte compile Python source files

SYNOPSIS

          pycompile [-V [X.Y][-][A.B]] DIR_OR_FILE [-X REGEXPR]

          pycompile -p PACKAGE

DESCRIPTION

       Wrapper around Python standard library's py_compile module to byte-compile Python files.

OPTIONS

       --version
              show program's version number and exit

       -h, --help
              show this help message and exit

       -f, --force
              force rebuild of byte-code files even if timestamps are up-to-date

       -O     byte-compile to .pyo files

       -q, --quiet
              be quiet

       -v, --verbose
              turn verbose mode on

       -p PACKAGE, --package=PACKAGE
              specify  Debian  package  name  whose  files should be bytecompiled (combining with
              DIR_OR_FILE will additionally limit list of files)

       -V VRANGE
              force private modules to be bytecompiled with  Python  version  from  given  range,
              regardless  of  the  default  Python  version  in the system. If there are no other
              options, bytecompile all public modules for installed Python  versions  that  match
              given range. VERSION_RANGE examples:

                 • 2.5    version 2.5 only

                 • 2.5-   version 2.5 or newer

                 • 2.5-2.7        version 2.5 or 2.6

                 • -3.0   all supported 2.X versions

       -X REGEXPR, --exclude=REGEXPR
              exclude  items  that match given REGEXPR. You may use this option multiple times to
              build up a list of things to exclude
