   The Python interpreter first reads the human code and optimizes it to some intermediate code before interpreting it into machine code. That's why you always need another program to run a Python script, unlike in C++ where you can run the compiled executable of your code directly. For example, c:\Python27\python.exe or /usr/bin/python.

   Jul 11, 2015 · As far as I know, you cannot execute a Python program (compiled to bytecode) on any Windows or Linux machine without modification. Yes, you can. The CPython VM is available for both Windows and Linux, as is PyPy, Jython and IronPython.

   • Cython. Cython is a C language-based compiler written in Python and C. It is the default compiler for Python. Advantages of Cython. It is the most widely used compiler.
   • 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.
   • PyPy. Armin Rigo developed PyPy using only Python programming language to replace the default compiler, Cython and released it in 2007. Advantages of PyPy.
   • IronPython. Jim Hugunin developed the IronPython using the language C# to integrate Python code with the .Net framework, and Mono and released it in September 2006.

   Jan 10, 2020 · Python, for example, can be executed as either a compiled program or as an interpreted language in interactive mode. On the other hand, most command line tools, CLIs, and shells can theoretically be classified as interpreted languages.

   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.

   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.

   Does Python have a compiler?

   • 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.

   Is Cython a good compiler?

   • If you really want, you could always compile with Cython. This will generate C code, which you can then compile with any C compiler such as GCC. Cython is great. But unfortunately, cythonized code is too far from vanilla Python. There is a Python → 11l → C++ transpiler which requires much less work.

   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.

   Should I compile my Python code?

   • This is usually handled by python itself, for imported scripts only. Another reason you might want to compile your python code, could be to protect your intellectual property from being copied and/or modified. You can read more about this in the Python documentation. In regards to protecting your code - compiling won't help a whole lot.

   Dec 28, 2022 · Typing the word python into the command prompt invokes the Python Interpreter, which is the program you are actually running. It simply takes your script (as the argument) to be processed further. The Python Interpreter itself consists of two parts: a compiler and the Python Virtual Machine (PVM).
