to compile; any files that don't end in ".py" are silently skipped.
'optimize' must be one of the following:
0 - don't optimize (generate .pyc)
1 - normal optimization (like "python -O")
2 - extra optimization (like "python -OO")
If 'force' is true, all files are recompiled regardless of
timestamps.
The source filename encoded in each bytecode file defaults to the
filenames listed in 'py_files'; you can modify these with 'prefix' and
'basedir'. 'prefix' is a string that will be stripped off of each
source filename, and 'base_dir' is a directory name that will be
prepended (after 'prefix' is stripped). You can supply either or both
(or neither) of 'prefix' and 'base_dir', as you wish.
If 'verbose' is true, prints out a report of each file. If 'dry_run'
is true, doesn't actually do anything that would affect the filesystem.
Byte-compilation is either done directly in this interpreter process
with the standard py_compile module, or indirectly by writing a
temporary script and executing it. Normally, you should let
'byte_compile()' figure out to use direct compilation or not (see
the source for details). The 'direct' flag is used by the script
generated in indirect mode; unless you know what you're doing, leave
it set to None.

# interpreter is running with, so we can't do direct

# always compile indirectly if the current interpreter is in either
