How to convert a string into a pyc file without using a py file?

Question

I have a string print("hello"). I want to directly store this as a .pyc file and execute it later. How can I do this?

I am already aware of py_compile, which necessiates a .py file. I want to do the same without a .py file getting created. — codingsplash, Jun 16 '15 at 11:18

Take a look at the py_compile.compile and its source code to see how it is done.

I get an ImportError at "from py_compile import wrlong" – codingsplash Jun 16 '15 at 11:45
It is `wr_long`, I made a typo. – Vincent Jun 16 '15 at 11:46
It does not recognise wr_long as well. Am I going wrong somewhere? – codingsplash Jun 16 '15 at 11:48
My bad, I didn't notice you're using python 3. I edited the link to the sources. – Vincent Jun 16 '15 at 11:55
