Note that it isn't necessary to byte-compile Python modules for
execution efficiency -- Python itself byte-compiles a module when
it is loaded, and if it can, writes out the bytecode to the
corresponding .pyc (or .pyo) file.
However, if a Python installation is shared between users, it is a
good idea to byte-compile all modules upon installation, since
other users may not be able to write in the source directories,
and thus they won't be able to write the .pyc/.pyo file, and then
they would be byte-compiling every module each time it is loaded.
This can slow down program start-up considerably.
See compileall.py for a script/module that uses this module to
byte-compile all installed files (or all files in selected
directories).
