compileall2 Python module

Copy of compileall module from CPython source code with some new features, namely:

• compatibility with Python >= 3.4 & PyPy 3

• default recursion limit is now "unlimited" (actually limited by sys.getrecursionlimit())

• -s and -a command line options for manipulation with path baked into a compiled *.pyc file.

• -o command line option enables you to specify multiple optimization levels at once which leads to multiple byte-compiled files (for each optimization level) in one run

Installation

• From PyPI via pip install compileall2

• RPMs will be available in Fedora COPR

Usage

compileall2 can be executed as a Python module or directly.

Example usage:

# Create some script with bad syntax
$ echo "1 / 0" > test.py
# Compile it
$ compileall2 test.py 
Compiling 'test.py'...
# Try to execute compiled version directly
$ python __pycache__/test.cpython-37.pyc 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test.py", line 1, in <module>
    1 / 0
ZeroDivisionError: division by zero
# Recompile it with changes path which will be visible in error message
$ compileall2 -f -a /foo/bar test.py 
Compiling 'test.py'...
$ python __pycache__/test.cpython-37.pyc 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/foo/bar/test.py", line 1, in <module>
ZeroDivisionError: division by zero
# Same thing as above but executed as a Python module
$ python -m compileall2 -f -a /bar/baz test.py 
Compiling 'test.py'...
$ python __pycache__/test.cpython-37.pyc 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/bar/baz/test.py", line 1, in <module>
ZeroDivisionError: division by zero

Done

• ✓ Start project :)

• ✓ Make upstream tests running

• Make compileall2 compatible with CPythons:

  • 3.8 ✓
  • 3.7 ✓
  • 3.6 ✓
  • 3.5 ✓
  • 3.4 ✓

• ✓ Make compileall2 compatible with PyPy 3

• ✓ Remove maximum depth limit as described above

• ✓ Add possibility to strip some part of a path to an original file from compiled one

• ✓ Publish it to PyPI

• ✓ Make it available in Fedora COPR

ToDo

• [NEXT STEP] Test it with Python packages in COPR

• Push it to Fedora rawhide

• Test it in Fedora infrastructure with all Python packages

• ? Prepare patches for upstream CPython

Testing

You can test it locally with tox or unittest directly:

$ python3 -m unittest test_compileall_original.py
............sss.......................sss.....................ss.................
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 81 tests in 2.137s

OK (skipped=8)

but running in a Docker container might be better because the superuser has privileges to write to sys.path which lowers the number of skipped tests.

You can just build the prepared one:

$ docker build -t compileall2 .

and run tests in it:

$ docker run --rm -it -e TOXENV=py37 -v $PWD:/src:Z -w /src  compileall2
