   The .pyc file is Python that has already been compiled to byte-code. Python automatically runs a .pyc file if it finds one with the same name as a .py file you invoke. "An Introduction to Python" says this about compiled Python files:

   Apr 23, 2018 · And you may also have seen another type of file, with a name ending in .pyc, and you may have heard that they're Python "bytecode" files. (These are a bit harder to see on Python 3—instead of ending up in the same directory as your .py files, they go into a subdirectory called __pycache__ .)

   Jul 22, 2024 · However, unlike languages that compile directly to machine code, Python operates through a two-step process: compilation to bytecode and execution by the Python Virtual Machine (PVM).

   May 22, 2024 · Understanding Bytecode in Python Our main goal today is to understand what happens behind the scenes when we write and execute Python code. Python is an interpreted language, but it also involves a compilation step where your Python code (.py) is compiled into bytecode (.pyc). This bytecode is then executed by the Python Virtual Machine (PVM).

   Feb 25, 2024 · Bytecode is the under-the-hood representation of your Python code, a middle-ground between the high-level Python you write and the binary machine code executed by the computer’s processor. When you run a Python script, your code is transformed into this low-level, platform-independent format, which the Python Virtual Machine (PVM) then executes.

   Jul 7, 2024 · Bytecode files have a .pyc extension and are typically stored in the __pycache__ directory. Python Virtual Machine (PVM) The PVM is the runtime engine of Python.

   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.

   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.

   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.

   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 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).

   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.

   Jun 6, 2024 · Python bytecode is like a secret language that Python uses behind the scenes. When you write your Python code, it doesn’t run directly. Instead, Python translates your code into bytecode, a set of instructions that the Python interpreter can understand and execute. You may be asking why beginners should care about bytecode.
