87             PyCompileError exception will be raised.
88
89    Note that it isn't necessary to byte-compile Python modules for
90    execution efficiency -- Python itself byte-compiles a module when
91    it is loaded, and if it can, writes out the bytecode to the
92    corresponding .pyc (or .pyo) file.
93
94    However, if a Python installation is shared between users, it is a
95    good idea to byte-compile all modules upon installation, since
96    other users may not be able to write in the source directories,
97    and thus they won't be able to write the .pyc/.pyo file, and then
98    they would be byte-compiling every module each time it is loaded.
99    This can slow down program start-up considerably.
100
101    See compileall.py for a script/module that uses this module to
102    byte-compile all installed files (or all files in selected
103    directories).
