really? so what is that "find" command doing in your code ? compile $(find path/to -type f -name "*.py") seems to me as if python -mcompileall path/to would do exactly what your script does... (if you really think that find does something that compileall or os.walk cannot do, you can fix your script by fixing the identation. the quickest way to do that is to insert an if-statement: ... function compile () { python -c ' if 1: # python code has to start in column 0 import os, sys, py_compile i = 0 ... ) </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
