someone helped me with this but here I will explain what each command means
Instructions:
export PYFILE=my_main.py
my_main.py:#!/usr/bin/python3 print("Best School")
Scripts to compile the code:
#!/bin/bash
python3 -m compileall -b $PYFILE
Meaning of each command there
#!/bin/bash: This is called a shebang and is placed at the beginning of a Bash script to specify the interpreter that should be used to run the script, in this case, /bin/bash.
python3 -m compileall -b $PYFILE
: This is the command being executed. It consists of the following components:
python3
: This is the command to run the Python interpreter version 3.-m compileall
: This is an argument for the python3 command that instructs it to execute the compileall module as a script.-b
: This is an option for the compileall module that generates bytecode for all specified Python files, even if they have not been modified since the bytecode was generated previously.$PYFILE
: This is a variable that holds the name or path of the Python file to be compiled. The actual value of the variable would need to be set before running the script.
The purpose of this script is to compile Python files into bytecode using the compileall module. The -b option ensures that bytecode is generated for all files, regardless of whether they have been modified.
when the script is run, it automatically generates a file with .pyc
