37. As I understand, the cause of the speed difference between compiled languages and python is, that the first compiles code all way to the native machine's code, whereas python compiles to python bytecode, to be interpreted by the PVM. I see that this way python codes can be used on multiple operation system (at least in most cases), however ...
May 1, 2020 · The standard Python implementation, called CPython, compiles Python source to bytecode automatically and executes that via a virtual machine, which is not what is usually meant by "interpreted". There are implementations of Python which compile to native code. For example, the PyPy project uses JIT compilation to get the benefits of CPython's ...
Feb 26, 2012 · 73. Python has a compiler! You just don't notice it because it runs automatically. You can tell it's there, though: look at the .pyc (or .pyo if you have the optimizer turned on) files that are generated for modules that you import. Also, it does not compile to the native machine's code.
Dec 11, 2019 · Then it knows exactly how each routine/method/function will be called, and thus it knows the exact memory layout and how to perform operations on it. Thus, it can emit optimized native code for that, and there would be no need to do type checks in runtime. Thanks to that, the compiler can write native code that does not need type information.
I'm sure someone has built a compiler for python but to my knowledge there is no official solution other than the python interpreter. If you require compiling your code for whatever reason I'd suggest looking at a different language such as GO. Keep in mind that programing languages are simply tools, and you have to choose the right tool for ...
Oct 19, 2021 · Yes, you can create a compiler for any language, even python. And yes, python already isn't a "fully" interpreted language - there are some compilation steps that are done. But it is still considered an interpreted language since there really isn't a native compiler that translates it into machine code (assembly)
