py_compile.compile() does not specify if it can accept a file like object or a bytes like object with the file's data. Although I need something that can allow me to import byte like objects if the object contains valid python script data. (basically it would have to act as a import unless I have to exec the data in it which would be totally bad as it would not be able to retain all of the data. Long story short I need a way to import the data returned from the dec_script() function in this: https://bpaste.net/show/694c231c566c

It says "The source code is loaded from the file name *file*". That seems unambiguous enough to me.

Maybe in the sentence, name should be named?

yeah, true and to specify that it cannot be anything but a file.

Do you care to propose an improved wording?

Ok, file uploaded.

I don't see how this is an improvement. Before it clearly said that the first argument must be file name, now it's an oddly confusing statement. Also, typically we don't list all the possibilities of what the arguments must not be.

Agreed, the current wording is correct and complete, except for the name vs named bit. I've fixed that.
