compiling .cgi files

[carlhiga at yahoo.com]

Hello,

I'm running some python cgi scripts that need to have the '.cgi' 
extension in their filename.

Is there anyway to get them to be byte code compiled? I understand 
that if they were '.py' files I could simply import them using the 
interpreter and it would produce the '.pyc' files. But I don't know 
how to do this with '.cgi' files.

Thanks in advance,
Carl
