How Does Python Code Run: CPython And Python Difference

Introduction

Python is the high-level general-purpose programming language developed by Guido van Rossum in the late 1980s and released in 1991. It is a dynamically-typed language, which means we don't have to declare the type of the variable, and the type of the value is known when the code gets executed and the memory management is done automatically.

Python - Interpreted or compiled language?

• Compilation is the process in which the source code is translated into the target language, where the target language is sometimes machine-readable code and in other times it serves as the input to another compiler or interpreter.
• It takes the entire program at a time as the input.
• The code is translated once into object code and can be run many times.
• It will not execute the machine-readable code it produced; this is simply a translation step.
• It is the step done before the program execution process.
