""":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.
This module can be used to create the cached byte-code files at library
installation time, which makes them available for use even by users who don't
have write permission to the library directories.


Command-line use
----------------

This module can work as a script (using :program:`python -m compileall`) to
compile Python sources.

def 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 prepended to the path to each file being compiled
	for use in compilation time tracebacks, and is also compiled in to the
	byte-code file, where it will be used in tracebacks and other messages in
	cases where the source file does not exist at the time the byte-code file is
	executed.
	
	If *force* is true, modules are re-compiled even if the timestamps are up to
	date.
	
	If *rx* is given, its search method is called on the complete path to each
	file considered for compilation, and if it returns a true value, the file
	is skipped.
	
	If *quiet* is true, nothing is printed to the standard output unless errors
	occur.

def compile_file(fullname,ddir,force,rx,quiet):
	"""
	Compile the file with path *fullname*.
	
	If *ddir* is given, it is prepended to the path to the file being compiled
	for use in compilation time tracebacks, and is also compiled in to the
	byte-code file, where it will be used in tracebacks and other messages in
	cases where the source file does not exist at the time the byte-code file is
	executed.
	
	If *rx* is given, its search method is passed the full path name to the
	file being compiled, and if it returns a true value, the file is not
	compiled and ``True`` is returned.
	
	If *quiet* is true, nothing is printed to the standard output unless errors
	occur.

	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.  All other parameters are passed to the :func:`compile_dir`
	function.  Note that unlike the other compile functions, ``maxlevels``
	defaults to ``0``.
	
	To force a recompile of all the :file:`.py` files in the :file:`Lib/`
	subdirectory and all its subdirectories::
