saving pre-compiled scripts

Hi,



I'm working on an application that reads python scripts from XML


elements and compiles them during my app's startup process using. The


application then runs the resulting compiled PyCodeObjects using


PyEval_EvalCode as they are needed.



Now I'm wondering if its possible to pre-compile the scripts and save


the PyCodeObjects in a binary file (or in CDATA in an XML element) and


have them ready to run when the application starts up.



My only constraint is that I need to be able to load the scripts from


memory (which is why using Py_CompileString has worked well for me).



Is there any way I can get the size of a PyCodeObject so that I could


save it to a binary file? If I did that would it run correctly if I


reloaded it and tried to Eval it? Can I load a pyc file from memory


somehow?



Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.



Thanks,


Derek
