1. • • The byte code (.pyc files) can be executed faster if the original script hasn’t changed, thereby speeding up the script’s start time. The Python interpreter, more specifically, the Python Virtual Machine (PVM), interprets this byte code. It reads the byte code and carries out the instructed operations.

   Python automatically compiles your script to compiled code, so called byte code, before running it. Running a script is not considered an import and no .pyc will be created. For example, if you have a script file abc.py that imports another module xyz.py, when you run abc.py, xyz.pyc will be created since xyz is imported, but no abc.pyc file ...

   Jun 8, 2023 · When you write Python code and execute it, the Python interpreter initially compiles your source code (.py file) into byte code, a lower-level, platform-independent format. This compilation is automatic and transparent to the user.

   How byte code is compiled in Python?

   • It is compiled to bytecode. Then it is routed to virtual machine. 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.

   How does Python interpret byte code in a pre-compiled Python file?

   • @KorayTugay, when python.exe is given human readable text source code, it first produces optimized byte code, then interprets that (as you say); however, when there is already a byte code file (pre-compiled), it doesn't have to do the first step, which saves some time. The answer depends on what implementation of python is being used.

   What is Python bytecode?

   • The python code you write is compiled into python bytecode, which creates file with extension .pyc. If compiles, again question is, why not compiled language. Note that this isn't compilation in the traditional sense of the word. Typically, we’d say that compilation is taking a high-level language and converting it to machine code.

   Why do we use bytecode instead of Python?

   • Python is compiled to a .pyc file once and then interpreted from it multiple times. This reduces the overhead of parsing the source code once. Interpreting directly from bytecode is faster and avoids the need for lexing.

   Why python compile the source to bytecode before interpreting?

   Why is Python bytecode readable?

   • Python bytecode is really readable, because the compiler doesn't need to obfuscate it to optimise it. (Not that it optimises it much...) The reason some files get compiled automatically is because they are imported; for instance, if you use import mylib.py, Python will compile mylib.py so that future import statements run a little faster.

   Does Python create a bytecode if a library is imported?

   • Python does create .pyc files (so-called byecode) whenever a library is imported. AFAIK the bytecode can only speed up load times, not execution times. @aitchnyu: Caching the bytecode in .pyc files only speeds up loading indeed, but only becase the Python code is compiled to bytecode before execution anyway.
