Because it is one of these three:

1. for Required_Switches ("Python") use ("-m", "py_compile");
2. for Required_Switches ("Python") use ("-m", "compileall");
3. nothing

#1 results in

    python.exe -m py_compile <file>

= compile only. py_compile is the module name that takes <file> as an 
argument.

#2 results in

    python.exe -m compileall <file>

= compile, generate *.pyc files, store them at the Python library 
location. compileall is the module name.

#3 results in

    python.exe <file>

= compile/run <file>.

When you remove -m but leave compileall you get

    python.exe compileall <file>

and compileall is treated as a file.

Command line-arguments are here:
