    Feb 26, 2012 · 73. 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 11, 2015 · 11. 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. But why does Python need both a compiler and an interpreter?

    1. As sone one already said, "interpreted/compiled is not a property of the language but a property of the implementation." Python can be used in interpretation mode as well as compilation mode. When you run python code directly from terminal or cmd then the python interpreter starts.

    Oct 19, 2021 · Yes, you can create a compiler for any language, even python. And yes, python already isn't a "fully" interpreted language - there are some compilation steps that are done. But it is still considered an interpreted language since there really isn't a native compiler that translates it into machine code (assembly)

    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.

  7. softwareengineering.stackexchange.com › questionsprogramming languages - Is Python Interpreted or Compiled ...

    Python will fall under byte code interpreted. .py source code is first compiled to byte code as .pyc. 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).

    Jan 10, 2020 · Compilers and interpreters take human-readable code and convert it to computer-readable machine code. In a compiled language, the target machine directly translates the program. In an interpreted language, the source code is not directly translated by the target machine. Instead, a different program, aka the interpreter, reads and executes the ...
