Project Compilation

Compile Command​

The equipment compile <path> command is used to compile the entire project into a <path> directory. This process involves:

  • Converting all Python (.py) files to compiled Python (.pyc) files
  • Preserving all non-Python files in their original structure
  • Creating a complete, ready-to-distribute version of the project

Usage​

# compile into the ./dist directory
equipment compile dist

Compilation Details​

  • Python Files: Converted to bytecode (.pyc) for faster execution
  • Non-Python Files: Copied as-is to maintain project structure
  • Output Directory: All compiled files are placed in the <path> folder

This command is useful for:

  • Creating a distributable version of your project
  • Improving initial load times by pre-compiling Python files
  • Preparing the project for deployment or sharing
