+## Python Script to compile all SPL files in one go saving time
+
+### What it does.
+
+Having to compile all the kernel spl modules after each change can be a lot time consuming to do by hand. This script basically compiles all the spl files in one go.
+
+### How to use.
+
+Python3 is already pre-installed on many linux distros, if not install it.
+
+Put the `compile.py` script in `myexpos/spl` folder. 
+
+Run `python3 compile.py` or `./compile.py` from `myexpos/spl` folder .
+
+**Note** : This script only compiles SPL programs which are in the `myexpos/spl/spl_progs` directory and immediate subdirectories.
