Generating .pyc/.pyo from a make file

[Tim Daneliuk]

I use a makefile to create distribution tarballs of freestanding Python
programs and their documentation.  I cannot seem to find the right
command line option to just generate a pyc/pyo file from the program
and then exit.  If I use 'python -OOOO -c"import myprog"' it creates
the pyo file, but myprog starts up and keeps running.

IOW, I need a batch method for generating compiled python.  I know it
exists, but I can't find it for some reason ...

TIA,
