Make Your Own Python Compiler
Posted: Mon Oct 11, 2010 12:56 pm
One thing that's great about Python is that it allows us to compile it into a bytecode (.pyc)
First open up your terminal and navigate into the directory in which your program's file(s) are, for example my files are in a folder called ScreenScare on my desktop, so I would put down the following terminal command to access that directory (NOTE: The terminal is case sensitive).
First open up your terminal and navigate into the directory in which your program's file(s) are, for example my files are in a folder called ScreenScare on my desktop, so I would put down the following terminal command to access that directory (NOTE: The terminal is case sensitive).
Code: Select all
Now I would type these terminal commands in order.
cd Desktop/ScreenScareCode: Select all
NOTE: You can save the code below into a compiler.py file to compile your applications, but don't forget to change the appname.python
import compiler
compiler.compileFile("appname.py")
exit()Code: Select all
After you've compiled your program now it's time to make the .pyc file executable by putting down the following terminal command.
import compiler
compiler.compileFile("appname.py")
exit()Code: Select all
and now it's time to run the program with this terminal command.
sudo chmod +x appname.pycCode: Select all
./helloworld.pyc
