compileall2 0.7.0

Enhanced Python `compileall` module

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 -p command line options for manipulation of the path baked into a compiled *.pyc file.

• the -o command line option can be specified multiple times to compile for multiple optimization levels in one run

• the -e command line option for ignoring symlinks pointing outside a specific directory

• the --hardlink-dupes command line option which creates hardlinks between .pyc files with the same content

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 (this one raises an exception to show tracebacks)
$ 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 -p /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 -p /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

• ✓ Test it with Python packages in COPR

• Push it to Fedora rawhide

  • ✓ %py_byte_compile RPM macro uses compileall2 (done in python-rpm-macros)
  • ✓ switch brp-python-bytecompile RPM script to compileall2 (done in redhat-rpm-config)

• ✓ Test it in Fedora infrastructure with all Python packages (done in the mass rebuild for Fedora 31)

• ✓ Prepare patches for upstream CPython

  • Pull request merged and will be part of Python 3.9

• ✓ Changes from upstream CPython backported back

• ✓ Implemented important features for Fedora RPM build system

Testing

You can test it locally with tox or unittest directly:

$ python3 -m unittest test_compileall2.py
..............sss....ss.......................sss....ss.....................ss.............................----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 107 tests in 3.714s

OK (skipped=12)

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
