    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.

    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 · Every language can be implemented with a compiler, and every language can be implemented with an interpreter. Note, however, that you can't run a program without an interpreter. A compiler simply translates a program from one language to another.

    • 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.

    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.

    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.
