   stackoverflow.com › questions › 471191

   Beginners assume Python is compiled because of .pyc files. The .pyc file is the compiled bytecode, which is then interpreted. So if you've run your Python code before and have the .pyc file handy, it will run faster the second time, as it doesn't have to re-compile the bytecode.

   Feb 26, 2012 · Python does not need a compiler because it relies on an application (called an interpreter) that compiles and runs the code without storing the machine code being created in a form that you can easily access or distribute.

   Jul 11, 2015 · There is nothing in the Python Language Specification that says that Python needs to have a compiler. There is also nothing in the Python Language Specification that says that Python needs to haven an interpreter.

   For this reason, Java is often called a compiled language, while Python is called an interpreted language. But both compile to bytecode, and then both execute the bytecode with a software implementation of a virtual machine. Another important Python feature is its interactive prompt.

   Dec 28, 2022 · The compiler takes the source code you write as input and translates all of it into instructions in machine code. Interpreted languages take the second approach. As the program is running, the interpreter reads the source code line by line and translates it into instructions for the processor.

   Why do we need a compiler in Python?

   • 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 our source code to an executable code and the program is called a Compiler.

   What is a compiler in Python?

   • A Compiler is a program that converts source code from one language to another language. In this article, we will discuss compilers, their roles, and the several types of compilers that are available for us to use. Python is a high-level programming language. The code we write in Python is easily understandable to us but not to computers.

   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.

   Is Python a compiled language?

   • According with the results of the test case scenario based on the code provided, Python is not a truly compiled language. The bytecode translation procedure conducted by Python helps the interpreter execute the code faster because the code was lowered in a less resource consuming form of code from a processing point of view.

   Why is Python compiled to machine code?

   • The C implementation of Python is CPython, Cython is something different. Other reasons why C compiled to machine code were that it was intended to be little more than a glorified assembler, because bytecode interpreters were technically unfeasible on the hardware they had, and because one of the most important tasks was writing an OS kernel.

   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?

   On the contrary C is a compiled language, as one have to compile the source code first according to the machine and then execute. This results is much faster execution. Now coming to Python: A python code (somefile.py) when imported creates a file (somefile.pyc) in the same directory.
