   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.

   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.

   • 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 18, 2023 · Compilers are an essential tool for software development because they allow programmers to write code in a high-level language that is easy to understand and debug, and then translate that code into machine code that can be efficiently executed by the computer.

   Oct 19, 2021 · Since python stays python, this means that to run python code, you will need a special program - an interpreter. This interpreter reads the python code line-by-line, and executes it. But $C$ compiles into assembly, which is natural for the computer and can be executed without requiring help from other programs.

   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 do we need a compiler?

   • Portability: Compilers allow programmers to write code that can be easily compiled and run on a wide variety of devices and platforms. This is because the source code is independent of the underlying hardware and is only translated into machine code when it is compiled.

   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.

   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.

   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.

   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.
