Similarly to how you use it in other environments,
e.g., to compile all the files whose names are
passed as script arguments,

import py_compile, sys

for source_name in sys.argv[1:]:
    py_compile.compile(source_name)

you may write this into compileit.py and then
run it, for example:

D:\PySym>python compileit.py wri.py

a file wri.pyc will now appear in the current
directory (assuming wri.py was there & correct:-).
