pb_client.compile.compile_source async

compile_source(source, *, name=SOURCE_NAME)

Compile Python source into a program the hub can run.

For source that did not come from a file, so there is nothing to discover: a program typed at a shell cannot import a module of its own, since there is no directory it came from. The one module is called __main__, which every firmware runs -- there is no file name to call it instead, and __main__ is also what the hub would then display.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
source	str	The Python code.	required
name	str	What to call it in compiler diagnostics and in tracebacks from the hub. Defaults to SOURCE_NAME.	SOURCE_NAME

Returns:

Type	Description
bytes	The compiled program, ready to download.

Raises:

Type	Description
CompileError	If the compiler rejects it.
