#! /bin/sh

if [ -z "$1" ]; then
   echo "Usage: compyle file.py..."
   exit 1
fi

TEMPLATE="from py_compile import compile; compile('"

for file in $*; do
   pgm=$TEMPLATE$file"')"
   python -c   "$pgm" || exit 1
   python -OOc "$pgm" || exit 1
done

   (I know I call python in the loop instead of looping inside python; I do
this by purpose).
