   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.

   .py source code is first compiled to byte code as .pyc. This byte code can be interpreted (official CPython), or JIT compiled (PyPy). Python source code (.py) can be compiled to different byte code also like IronPython (.Net) or Jython (JVM). There are multiple implementations of Python language. The official one is a byte code interpreted one.

   Jul 10, 2020 · Compilation. Interpreter. Compilation. The program is converted into byte code. Byte code is a fixed set of instructions that represent arithmetic, comparison, memory operations, etc. It can run on any operating system and hardware. The byte code instructions are created in the .pyc file.

   When is byte code created in Python?

   • Byte Code is automatically created in the same directory as .py file, when a module of python is imported for the first time, or when the source is more recent than the current compiled file. Next time, when the program is run, python interpreter use this file to skip the compilation step.

   Why is Python compiled to bytecode?

   • It's compiled to bytecode which can be used much, much, much faster. The reason some files aren't compiled is that the main script, which you invoke with python main.py is recompiled every time you run the script. All imported scripts will be compiled and stored on the disk. Important addition by Ben Blank:

   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.

   Where are byte code instructions created in Python?

   • The byte code instructions are created in the .pyc file. The .pyc file is not explicitly created as Python handles it internally but it can be viewed with the following command: -m and py_compile represent module and module name respectively. This module is responsible to generate .pyc file.

   Is Python compiled or interpreted?

   • People say "compiled" or "interpreted" as broad descriptions of the most interesting parts of the process, but really most every program is compiled (translated) and interpreted (executed) in one way or another. CPython (the most popular implementation of the Python language) is mostly interesting for executing code.
