compileall

Module/script to byte-compile all .py files to .pyc (or .pyo) files.

When called as a script with arguments, this compiles the directories given as arguments recursively; the -l option prevents it from recursing into directories.

Without arguments, if compiles all modules on sys.path, without recursing into subdirectories. (Even though it should do so for packages – for now, you’ll have to deal with packages separately.)

See module py_compile for details of the actual byte-compilation.
