I think Compiling Python Code would be a good place to start: Python source code is automatically compiled into Python byte code by the CPython interpreter. Compiled code is usually stored in PYC (or PYO) files, and is regenerated when the source is updated, or when otherwise necessary.

For example, nuitka translates Python code to C/C++, and compiles it to binary code which directly runs on the CPU, instead of Python bytecode which runs on the slower virtual machine. This can lead to significant speedups, or it would let you work with Python while your environment depends on C/C++ code.

Nov 16, 2015 · Also be aware that you don't need to compile a .py file to run it. Python is an interpreted language, and you can run the scripts directly, either using: python hello.py Or make your script executable by adding #!/usr/bin/env python to the top of the script, making the file executable with chmod +x hello.py and then running:./hello.py

Jan 24, 2017 · Yes, it is possible to compile Python scripts into standalone executables. PyInstaller can be used to convert Python programs into stand-alone executables, under Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, Solaris, and AIX. It is one of the recommended converters. py2exe converts Python scripts into only executable on the Windows platform.

Sep 9, 2012 · One can use the nuitka python package, which can be conveniently downloaded into a python environment from PyPi: pip install nuitka Note: The package supports python 2.6-2.7, and most python 3 releases: 3.4-3.12. Using Nuitka <the_right_python> -m nuitka [options] <file_to_compile>

Python is an interpreted language, that's no debate. Even if Python is 'compiling' the code into Bytecode, it is not a complete compilation procedure, and besides this, Python does not 'compile' all code (values and types) into bytecode. My analysis was ran against the following code: Framework used to test the statement's correctness

Mar 16, 2014 · Code objects can be executed by an exec statement or evaluated by a call to eval(). source can either be a Unicode string, a Latin-1 encoded string or an AST object. Refer to the ast module documentation for information on how to work with AST objects. So it takes python code, and returns on of those two things. exec will execute the python code

Jul 31, 2016 · I found several ways to compile python scripts into bytecode. Using py_compile in terminal: python -m py_compile File1.py File2.py File3.py ... -m specifies the module(s) name to be compiled. Or, for interactive compilation of files. python -m py_compile - File1.py File2.py File3.py . . . Using py_compile.compile:

Feb 24, 2011 · As you can see, using this method you can basically use Cython to convert your pure Python applications into executable, compiled object code. I am using this method for vastly more complex applications - for example, a full blown Python/PySide/Qt application. For different versions of Python, you tailor the gcc -I and -l switches to suit.

Oct 9, 2024 · If you just want to compile sources, without running them, you can do this. compileall.py <directory> this command will compile python code in that directory recursively. compileall script is usually located in directory like /usr/local/lib/python2.6 i.e. <prefix>/lib/python2.6 (or similar, depending on prefixes set a python configuration)
