   When we execute some source code, Python compiles it into byte code. Compilation is a translation step, and the byte code is a low-level platform-independent representation of source code. Note that the Python byte code is not binary machine code (e.g., instructions for an Intel chip).

   An important aspect of Python’s compilation to bytecode is that it’s entirely implicit. You never invoke a compiler, you simply run a .py file. The Python implementation compiles the files as needed. This is different than Java, for example, where you have to run the Java compiler to turn Java source code into compiled class files.

   Oct 10, 2022 · The short answer is: Python is interpreted. There is no separate compile step after writing Python code and before running the .py file. The Python interpreter software you download from python.org is called CPython because it's written in C.

   Depending on your definition, native machine compilers for Python exist. Some only compile a subset of python. Others implement all of python but use the python API to actually perform the operations which it cannot perform in C. –

   Should I compile my Python code?

   • This is usually handled by python itself, for imported scripts only. Another reason you might want to compile your python code, could be to protect your intellectual property from being copied and/or modified. You can read more about this in the Python documentation. In regards to protecting your code - compiling won't help a whole lot.

   Is Cython a good compiler?

   • If you really want, you could always compile with Cython. This will generate C code, which you can then compile with any C compiler such as GCC. Cython is great. But unfortunately, cythonized code is too far from vanilla Python. There is a Python → 11l → C++ transpiler which requires much less work.

   Why does Python need both a compiler and an interpreter?

   • I can understand the fact that Java needs both a compiler and an interpreter. It compiles source code to bytecode and then a virtual machine (on Windows, on Linux, on Android, etc.) translates that bytecode to machine code for the current architecture.

   What is the difference between compiler and byte code in Python?

   • Compilation is a translation step, and the byte code is a low-level platform-independent representation of source code. Note that the Python byte code is not binary machine code (e.g., instructions for an Intel chip). Actually, Python translate each statement of the source code into byte code instructions by decomposing them into individual steps.

   Jul 1, 2024 · In Python, the compilation to bytecode is implicit and handled by the interpreter. Execution: Compiled code runs directly on the hardware, offering potential performance benefits. Interpreted code runs within an interpreter, adding a layer between your code and the hardware.
