   Jun 8, 2010 · CPython compiles its source code into "byte code", and for performance reasons, it caches this byte code on the file system whenever the source file has changes. This makes loading of Python modules much faster because the compilation phase can be bypassed.

   May 20, 2024 · Understanding the differences between these two types of files is essential for efficient Python programming and debugging. '.py' files contain human-readable source code written by developers, while '.pyc' files are compiled bytecode generated by the Python interpreter to speed up module loading.

   May 10, 2020 · Bytecode is an intermediate language for the Python virtual machine that’s used as a performance optimization. Instead of directly executing the human-readable source code, compact numeric codes, constants, and references are used that represent the result of compiler parsing and semantic analysis.

   Apr 23, 2018 · This intermediate format is called "bytecode." So those .pyc files Python leaves lying around aren't just some "faster" or "optimized" version of your source code; they're the bytecode instructions that will be executed by Python's virtual machine as your program runs. Let's look at an example.

   How byte code is compiled in Python?

   • It is compiled to bytecode. Then it is routed to virtual machine. When we execute some source code, Python compiles it into byte code. Compilation is a translation step, and the byte code is a low-level platform-independent representation of source code.

   What is Python bytecode?

   • The python code you write is compiled into python bytecode, which creates file with extension .pyc. If compiles, again question is, why not compiled language. Note that this isn't compilation in the traditional sense of the word. Typically, we’d say that compilation is taking a high-level language and converting it to machine code.

   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.

   How does Python interpret byte code in a pre-compiled Python file?

   • @KorayTugay, when python.exe is given human readable text source code, it first produces optimized byte code, then interprets that (as you say); however, when there is already a byte code file (pre-compiled), it doesn't have to do the first step, which saves some time. The answer depends on what implementation of python is being used.

   Does Python create a bytecode if a library is imported?

   • Python does create .pyc files (so-called byecode) whenever a library is imported. AFAIK the bytecode can only speed up load times, not execution times. @aitchnyu: Caching the bytecode in .pyc files only speeds up loading indeed, but only becase the Python code is compiled to bytecode before execution anyway.

   How Python code is converted to bytecode?

   • The same thing happens with python i.e. first the source code gets converted to the bytecode through the compiler then directed to the PVM (responsible for generating the native code for execution purpose).

   In Python, the source code is compiled into a much simpler form called bytecode. These are instructions similar in spirit to CPU instructions, but instead of being executed by the CPU, they are executed by software called a virtual machine. (These are not VM’s that emulate entire operating systems, just a simplified CPU execution environment.)
