We prove that any compact space, and even any countably compact space having the weak topology with respect to a sequence of symmetrisable subspaces, is metrisable. This generalises results of Arhangel'skii and Nedev on metrisability of symmetrisable compact spaces. Also we define and study contraction functions on generalised metric spaces whose topology can be described in terms of a ‘distance function’ which is not quite a metric. In particular we present necessary and sufficient conditions for a space of countable pseudo-character to be submetrisable in terms of real-valued contraction functions on this space.
