Problem Statement
Is Python compiled, interpreted, or both?
Explanation
Python performs both compilation and interpretation. When you run a Python file, the source code is first compiled into bytecode, a lower-level form that the Python Virtual Machine understands. This compiled bytecode is stored in dot py c files.
After that, the Python Virtual Machine interprets the bytecode line by line at runtime. This is why Python is considered interpreted in practice. Some implementations such as PyPy use Just-In-Time compilation to further speed up execution by compiling bytecode to native machine code at runtime.
