   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.

   May 30, 2024 · The Python interpreter generates .pyc files automatically when a .py file is imported or executed. When a Python script is executed, the interpreter first checks if there is a corresponding .pyc file for that script.

   Feb 26, 2012 · Python has a compiler! You just don't notice it because it runs automatically. You can tell it's there, though: look at the .pyc (or .pyo if you have the optimizer turned on) files that are generated for modules that you import. Also, it does not compile to the native machine's code.

   Jul 1, 2024 · Key Differences: Visibility of Compilation: In compiled languages, the compilation step is explicit and produces a separate executable file. 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.

   This byte code can be interpreted (official CPython), or JIT compiled (PyPy). Python source code (.py) can be compiled to different byte code also like IronPython (.Net) or Jython (JVM). There are multiple implementations of Python language. The official one is a byte code interpreted one.

   Compiling Python code is accomplished using the compile() function, which takes three arguments: the Python code, a filename, and a mode. The filename and mode are optional parameters, but specifying a filename can be useful for debugging.

   Why do some Python files get compiled automatically?

   • 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. If you later change mylib.py, then it will get re-compiled next time it is imported (Python uses the file date to see that this happens.)

   Why is Python compiled every time a Python file is executed?

   • When the python file (somefile.py) is executed directly ( ./somefile.py or python somefile.py ) no .pyc file is created and the code is executed as is indicating interpreted behavior. These suggest that a python code is compiled every time it is imported in a new process to create a .pyc while it is interpreted when directly executed.

   Why does Python generate PYC files if it claims to be interpreted?

   • They consider the .pyc files to be the compiled version of the .py file, which is not true. In this article, we will learn why python generates the .pyc files if it claims to be an interpreted language. Python is a popular high-level interpreted language, meaning that code is executed by an interpreter rather than compiled into machine code.

   Is Python compiled or interpreted?

   • It just isn't compiled to a language for which a hardware implementation exists; it is executed by a virtual machine. Compilation and interpreters aren't mutually exclusive. Languages are neither compiled nor interpreted. Language implementations are compiled or interpreted. Possible duplicate of If Python is interpreted, what are .pyc files?

   Can Python code be compiled to different byte code?

   • Python source code (.py) can be compiled to different byte code also like IronPython (.Net) or Jython (JVM). There are multiple implementations of Python language. The official one is a byte code interpreted one. There are byte code JIT compiled implementations too. For speed comparisons of various implementations of languages you can try here.

   Does a Python file run faster than a compiled file?

   • "An Introduction to Python" says this about compiled Python files: A program doesn't run any faster when it is read from a ‘.pyc’ or ‘.pyo’ file than when it is read from a ‘.py’ file; the only thing that's faster about ‘.pyc’ or ‘.pyo’ files is the speed with which they are loaded.

   Feb 10, 2014 · In Python, these built modules you talk about are Python Extensions. They are usually there to improve performance or access low-level functionality which is not in Python. Sometimes also to include proprietary functionality.
