Can I make PyInstaller optimize the compilation?

When I use PyInstaller, it builds my modules as .pyc files. But I'd prefer it to run the compilation with -OO to optmize and remove docstrings. Is this possible?

i would like to add that in cmd.exe you can type

>set PYTHONOPTIMIZE=1
>pyinstaller skript.py

the answer from Stefano M did not work in my console. i had to make two different calls.

you can check if your code is optimized by using the preprocessor directive

if __debug__:
    print("optimized")

Since pyinstaller is a Python script, it is sufficient to run it with optimisation activated: e.g.

PYTHONOPTIMIZE=2 pyinstaller script.py

so that during bundling .pyo files are created instead of .pyc
