Compile a source file to byte-code and write out the byte-code cache
file. The source code is loaded from the file name \var{file}. The
byte-code is written to \var{cfile}, which defaults to \var{file}
\code{+} \code{'c'} (\code{'o'} if optimization is enabled in the
current interpreter). If \var{dfile} is specified, it is used as
the name of the source file in error messages instead of \var{file}.
+ If \var{doraise} = True, a PyCompileError is raised when an error is
+ encountered while compiling \var{file}. If \var{doraise} = False (the default),
+ an error string is written to sys.stderr, but no exception is raised.
