   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.

   • 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.

   Oct 19, 2021 · Lets start by saying that python doesn't compile at all - it stays python code all of the time. On the other hand, $C$ compiles into assembly, which then turns into a standalone executable. Since python stays python, this means that to run python code, you will need a special program - an interpreter.

   Oct 16, 2015 · What does it mean for a programming language to be interpreted and how are they compiled before execution in the terminal? Compilers and interpreters are very similar things, right up until the last step. For a compiler, the last step is to generate code in the output language and save it.

   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.

   What does a compiler do?

   • A compiler is, more generally, a program that converts a program in one programming language into a program in another programming language (arguably, you can even have a compiler with the same input and output language if significant transformations are applied).

   What is the difference between compiler and byte code in Python?

   • Compilation is a translation step, and the byte code is a low-level platform-independent representation of source code. Note that the Python byte code is not binary machine code (e.g., instructions for an Intel chip). Actually, Python translate each statement of the source code into byte code instructions by decomposing them into individual steps.

   Jul 1, 2024 · Let’s take a practical journey with a Python file, from creation to execution, to understand why Python is classified as an interpreted language despite involving some compilation steps. Step 1: Writing the Python Script. Imagine you write a simple Python script named hello.py:
