Rather than invoking mpy-cross directly via system/subprocess in our build tools and other tools, this provides a Python interface for it. Based on https://gitlab.com/alelec/mpy_cross (with the intention of eventually replacing that as the "official" pypi distribution once setup.py etc are added).

MicroPython cross compiler
This directory contains the MicroPython cross compiler, which runs under any Unix-like system and compiles .py scripts into .mpy files.
Build it as usual:
$ make
The compiler is called mpy-cross. Invoke it as:
$ ./mpy-cross foo.py
This will create a file foo.mpy which can then be copied to a place accessible
by the target MicroPython runtime (eg onto a pyboard's filesystem), and then
imported like any other Python module using import foo.
Different target runtimes may require a different format of the compiled bytecode, and such options can be passed to the cross compiler.
If the Python code contains @native or @viper annotations, then you must
specify -march to match the target architecture.
Run ./mpy-cross -h to get a full list of options.
The optimisation level is 0 by default. Optimisation levels are detailed in https://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/library/micropython.html#micropython.opt_level
