+This directory contains modules for a a Python source to bytecode compiler
+written in pure Python.         To install the compiler modules so they're
+available for use by third-party Python software, run 'python setup.py
+install'.
+
+compile.py     Demo that compiles a Python module into a .pyc file
+               using the pure-Python compiler code.
+
+demo.py                Prints the names of all the methods defined in a module,
+               as a demonstration of walking through the abstract syntax
+               tree produced by the parser.
+
+dumppyc.py     Dumps the contents of a .pyc file, printing 
+               the attributes of the code object followed by a 
+               code disassembly.
+
+regrtest.py    Runs the Python test suite using bytecode generated 
+               by the pure-Python compiler code instead of the
+               builtin compiler.
+
+setup.py       Setup file for installing the compiler code as a package.
