This module provides some utility functions to support installing Python libraries. These functions compile Python source files in a directory tree, allowing users without permission to write to the libraries to take advantage of cached byte-code files.
The source file for this module may also be used as a script to
compile Python sources in directories named on the command line or in
sys.path.
| dir[, maxlevels[, ddir[, force[, rx[, quiet]]]]]) | 
10.  If ddir is given, it is used as the base path from 
  which the filenames used in error messages will be generated.  If
  force is true, modules are re-compiled even if the timestamps
  are up to date. 
If rx is given, it specifies a regular expression of file names to exclude from the search; that expression is searched for in the full path.
If quiet is true, nothing is printed to the standard output in normal operation.
| [skip_curdir[, maxlevels[, force]]]) | 
sys.path.
  If skip_curdir is true (the default), the current directory is
  not included in the search.  The maxlevels and
  force parameters default to 0 and are passed to the
  compile_dir() function.
