Prerequisite

You need to install python 2.2.2 on your machine. It can be downloaded at http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.2.2/.

I kept the installation folder by default (C:\>Python22) in order not to interfere with my current Python 2.5 installation (installed in C:\>Python).

Compile PyS60 script to bytecode

• Go to C:\Python22> from the command prompt
• Type python and you should get the following output:

Python 2.2.2 (#37, Oct 14 2002, 17:02:34) \[MSC 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>

import py_compile
 
py_compile.compile("\\path\\to\\mymodule.py")

It will result a mymodule.pyc file at the given path.

Compile your PyS60 library to bytecode

• Go to C:\Python22> from the command prompt
• Type python and you should get the following output:

Python 2.2.2 (#37, Oct 14 2002, 17:02:34) \[MSC 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>

import compileall
 
compileall.compile_dir("\\path\\to\\myLibrary\\Directory", force=1)

It will result *.pyc files recursively for each files at the given path including sub-directories, sub-sub-directories...
