  1. Sep 26, 2008 · The answer is "Yes, it is possible". You could take Python code and attempt to compile it into the equivalent C code using the CPython API. In fact, there used to be a Python2C project that did just that, but I haven't heard about it in many years (back in the Python 1.5 days is when I last saw it.)

  2. Two concepts might help us understand better why Python compiled to native machine code "may" not run as fast as compiled C or other commonly compiled languages. They are called early binding and late binding.

  3. Aug 10, 2023 · Python doesn’t convert its code into machine code, something that hardware can understand. It converts it into something called byte code. So within Python, compilation happens, but it’s just not in a machine language.

  4. Jun 6, 2023 · In summary, Python converts the source code to bytecode using the interpreter and then executes the bytecode using the Python Virtual Machine, which translates it into machine code instructions...

  5. May 20, 2023 · Python is an interpreted language, which means it does not directly convert its code into machine code before runtime. Instead, Python uses a combination of compilation and...

  6. Jun 7, 2023 · Ahead-of-Time (AOT) Compilation: AOT compilation converts Python code into machine code before execution, similar to traditional compiled languages. Cython and Nuitka enable static compilation of Python modules or entire programs, providing increased performance while retaining Python’s syntax and ecosystem.

  8. Jul 31, 2024 · Python uses a blend of compilation and interpretation, converting source code (.py) to bytecode (.pyc) and then executing it via the Python Virtual Machine (PVM). To view Python bytecode, use the py_compile module.
