Didn't check, but something like this?

#!/bin/python
import os, sys, py_compile;
i = 0;
for arg in sys.argv:
  file  = os.path.basename(arg);
  dir   = os.path.dirname(arg);
  i += 1;
  if i > 1  and os.path.exists(dir):
      os.chdir(dir);
     print "compiling %s\n" % (file);
     py_compile.compile(file);
