Create compile_to_bytecode utility function.

I haven't looked at what lazy imports are supposed to do, therefore I haven't imported the needed items until I know how I'm supposed to import them.

They're a bit of a hack to reduce startup overheads, you just make a function that does the import and returns the module. A suitable declaration would be something like:

if sys.version_info[:2] < (3, 4):
    importlib = None
else:
    @lazy_import
    def importlib():
        import importlib._bootstrap
        return importlib

Then you can just use importlib as if it has been imported directly.

It looks like py_compile uses a try/except block for loader.source_to_code: http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/3.4/Lib/py_compile.py#l122 where they raise PyCompileError.

How would you like to handle that? Use PyCompileError as they do, or something else?
