python grew out of a project to design a computer language which would be easy for beginners to learn, yet would be powerful enough for even advanced users. This heritage is reflected in python’s small, clean syntax and the thor-oughness of the implementation of ideas like object-oriented programming,

Python is a high-level programming language. The code we write in Python is easily understandable to us but not to computers. Since computers can’t understand, they can’t execute the code. Hence we need to translate our code in Python to something a computer can understand and execute, machine language. So we created a program that can translate ou...
A lot of processes happen between pressing the run button on our IDEs and getting the output, and half of that process involves the working of compilers. 1. When we run a Python file (.py), the compiler starts reading the file. 2. The compiler reads the file and checks for errors. 3. If an error is found, the compiler stops and displays an error me...
1. Cython
Cython is a C language-based compiler written in Python and C. It is the default compiler for Python. 1. It is the most widely used compiler. 2. It is the most portable compiler. 3. Access to external C libraries. 1. It is slower compared to PyPy.
2. Jython
Jython is a Java-based compiler written in Python and Java. Unlike Cython, it compiles to a .class file and can be used with Java Virtual Machine. Jim Hugunin developed it in 1997 and released it on January 2001 1. It can be used with Java Virtual Machine (JVM). 2. Access to most Java libraries. 1. It is slower compared to Cython. 2. It is not compatible with Cython libraries.
3. PyPy
Armin Rigo developed PyPy using only Python programming language to replace the default compiler, Cython and released it in 2007. 1. It uses the Just-in-time compilation. 2. PyPy is around seven times faster than Cython. 3. It has comparatively lesser memory consumption. 4. It supports stackless Python. 1. Often incompatible with C libraries. 2. It doesn’t fully support Python3. 3. Limited compatibility.
Q1. What is the extension of the file generated by a compiler? Ans 1. A compiler generates a file with extensions .pyc, .pyo and .pyd Q2. Jython creates a file with what extension? Ans 2. Jython creates a file with a .class extension. Q3. Which compiler uses Just-in-time compilations? Ans 3. PyPy uses Just-in-time compilation. Q4. To what languages...
In this article, we learned about compilers and their importance. We discussed the pros and cons of the most popular types of compilers.
Python is an excellent language with which to learn programming. There are many reasons for this, but the simple explanation is that it’s easy to read and fast to write; it doesn’t take long to come up with working code that does something meaningful. Python has a very human-friendly syntax, which makes writing elegant code easy.

Compilers. Analysis of the source (front-end) Synthesis of the target (back-end) The translation from source code to executable. Requirements from a Compiler are: Support high-level programming languages. Good error messages.
Jun 4, 2021 · What is Python? Python is a high-level programming language developed by Guido van Rossum in the Netherlands in the late 1980s. It was released in 1991. Python has twice received recognition as the language with the largest growth in popularity for the year (2007, 2010).

A compiler is a software program that transforms high‐level source code that is written by a developer in a high‐level programming language into a low level object code (binary code) in machine language, which can be understood by the processor.
