   Jun 8, 2010 · The answer is by looking into the approach used in execution. If it executes the machine code all at once (== compile), then it's a compiled language. On the other hand, if it executes the machine code line-by-line (==interpret) then it's an interpreted language. Therefore, JAVA and Python are interpreted languages.

   Jul 13, 2015 · Python compiles the .py files and saves it as .pyc files so it can reference them in subsequent invocations. The .pyc contain the compiled bytecode of Python source files, which is what the Python interpreter compiles the source to. This code is then executed by Python's virtual machine.

   Sep 16, 2024 · A PYC file is a compiled version of a Python script (.PY file). When Python code is executed, the interpreter compiles the script into bytecode and then saves it as a PYC file. PYC files allow Python to run the program more efficiently since the code doesn’t need to be recompiled each time it is executed. More Information.

   While .py files contain the human-readable Python source code, .pyc files contain the compiled bytecode, which is not meant to be read by humans. Unlike .py files, which can be edited and modified by developers, .pyc files are generated automatically and should generally not be modified manually.

   How does Python compile a PYC file?

   • Automatically a new .py file will be created with the same existing .pyc file name. Python compiles the .py files and saves it as .pyc files so it can reference them in subsequent invocations. The .pyc contain the compiled bytecode of Python source files, which is what the Python interpreter compiles the source to.

   What are PYC files?

   • Before diving into the details of .pyc files, let’s define what they are and understand their purpose. .pyc files, also known as bytecode files, are binary files that contain the compiled bytecode of a Python source code file (.py file).

   Why are PYC files not compatible?

   • Compatibility issues: .pyc files are not guaranteed to be compatible across major Python versions, requiring careful consideration when distributing or sharing Python programs. Increased disk space usage: The generation of .pyc files results in additional files occupying disk space, which may be a concern for resource-constrained environments.

   Why does a PYC file need a Python interpreter?

   • This tells your shell to execute the file with the Python interpreter. To complement this answer: a .pyc file is not compiled in the strictest sense of the term, as it is not native machine code. It is, as @tomdachi wrote, python-specific byte-code (very similar to a Java .class), that's why it still needs the python interpreter to execture.

   Mar 20, 2022 · The Python code you write in .py files is not executed in the same format by the machine on which you run your code. Before being executed, the code in the .py files is compiled into .pyc files. Imagine the compilation process as a translation from one language to another language.
