32.11. compileall — Byte-compile Python libraries - Python 2.7.18 documentation 编辑

Source code: Lib/compileall.py

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.

32.11.1. Command-line use

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

directory...

file...

Positional arguments are files to compile or directories that contain source files, traversed recursively. If no argument is given, behave as if the command line was -l <directories from sys.path>.

-l

Do not recurse into subdirectories, only compile source code files directly contained in the named or implied directories.

-f

Force rebuild even if timestamps are up-to-date.

-q

Do not print the list of files compiled, print only error messages.

-ddestdir

Directory prepended to the path to each file being compiled. This will appear 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.

-xregex

regex is used to search the full path to each file considered for compilation, and if the regex produces a match, the file is skipped.

-ilist

Read the file list and add each line that it contains to the list of files and directories to compile. If list is -, read lines from stdin.

Changed in version 2.7: Added the -i option.

32.11.2. Public functions

compileall.compile_dir(dir[, maxlevels[, ddir[, force[, rx[, quiet]]]]])

Recursively descend the directory tree named by dir, compiling all .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.

compileall.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.

New in version 2.7.

compileall.compile_path([skip_curdir[, maxlevels[, force]]])

Byte-compile all the .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 compile_dir() function. Note that unlike the other compile functions, maxlevels defaults to 0.

To force a recompile of all the .py files in the Lib/ subdirectory and all its subdirectories:

import compileall

compileall.compile_dir('Lib/', force=True)

# Perform same compilation, excluding files in .svn directories.
import re
compileall.compile_dir('Lib/', rx=re.compile(r'[/\\][.]svn'), force=True)
