I just provided a 7 day dl link. Be happy to if people find the program slightly resourceful. : /
pycompile.pyc

Thank you for providing this. Perhaps explain its functions for people who might be unfamiliar with coding?

To be honest, it really has no concern for those who do not know how to code. Not being rude, but it's truly designed for the convenience of compiling python source.

BTW, Congrats on becoming a Moderator.

Thank you, this is useful, @ Eve: as he said this script is useless if you don't know how to code, it compiles python scripts so they run faster.

There is already a module that allows you to compile python files.
So what's the purpose of creating another one?

No crap bud. This is for ease of use; nothing more or nothing less.

I fail to see how a new module would be easier than just using the one that comes with python.

Well, why don't you time each method. See which one is faster.

In Linux I can enter one line and it will compile a python file to a .pyc
I'm sure there is something like that for windows as well.
