   stackoverflow.com › questions › 471191

   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.

   Mar 5, 2020 · When we execute a source code (a file with a .py extension), Python first compiles it into a bytecode. The bytecode is a low-level platform-independent representation of your source code, however, it is not the binary machine code and cannot be run by the target machine directly.

   May 10, 2020 · For example, the bytecode resulting from this compilation step is cached on disk in .pyc and .pyo files so that executing the same Python file is faster the second time around. All of this is completely transparent to the programmer.

   Let's break down these steps: Source Code : The process starts with your Python source code, typically stored in .py files. This source code is written in a human-readable format, making it easy for developers to write and understand. Lexical Analysis (Tokenization) : The first step in compiling Python code is lexical analysis or tokenization.

   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.

   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 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.

   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).

   Apr 23, 2018 · Python, like many interpreted languages, actually compiles source code to a set of instructions for a virtual machine, and the Python interpreter is an implementation of that virtual machine. This intermediate format is called "bytecode."
