An interpreter takes your code and executes (does) the actions you provide, produces the variables you specify, and performs a lot of behind-the-scenes work to ensure it works smoothly or warns you about issues.
Python is not an interpreted or compiled language. The implementation’s attribute is whether it is interpreted or compiled. Python is a bytecode (a collection of interpreter-readable instructions) that may be interpreted in a variety of ways.
The source code is saved in a .py file.
Python generates a set of instructions for a virtual machine from the source code. This intermediate format is known as “bytecode,” and it is created by compiling.py source code into .pyc, which is bytecode. This bytecode can then be interpreted by the standard CPython interpreter or PyPy’s JIT (Just in Time compiler).
Python is known as an interpreted language because it uses an interpreter to convert the code you write into a language that your computer’s processor can understand. You will later download and utilise the Python interpreter to be able to create Python code and execute it on your own computer when working on a project.
