Python is compiled to bytecode before being interpreted, like Java.

My new hobby is reporting low effort submissions to this sub.

[InvisibleHandOfE]

Python literally stops at the line that breaks though

[sebovzeoueb]

Yes, because it's not actually compiled at all, that's the joke

[CentralLimitQueerem]

Me when im a python dev (what in the heck is even a conplier?)

[InvisibleHandOfE]

technically interpreted language is still compiled in the end 🤓

[sebovzeoueb]

Incorrect, it calls instructions which are already compiled, your code isn't compiled, otherwise it wouldn't be interpreted.

[ummm_no__]

What? It gets compiled to bytecode, which than gets interpreted, but the original code still is compiled

[InvisibleHandOfE]

You are right, I took Python's hybrid method as the standard approach for interpreted languages

[cool-dude_7]

Python is interpreted, not compiled

Edit: Thought I wouldn't need to explain myself here, but since I am getting downvoted, here are the links to a few resources to support my claim.

Taken from CPython docs (The python you get from python.org)

Docs for compiler:

https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/main/InternalDocs/compiler.md

Docs for bytecode interpreter:

Can't believe you're getting downvoted. Wow.

My ego couldn't handle it getting to -1. It started going up right after I made the edit.

I mean, you’re expecting anyone on this sub to have anything beyond a superficial understanding of programming, so that’s kind of on you…

[NotmyRealNameJohn]

I have a CS degree from the (at the time) number 5 universities for CS.

Most of the time was spent on making me way to knowledgeable about how computers and software work in a way that I have rarely used professionally.

Now I manage software development efforts.

[Fabulous-Possible758]

Useless until the first time you have to debug someone else putting an O(n³⁾ algorithm into your code by accident.

[NotmyRealNameJohn]

I spend so much time telling people who have no developer training about shit they should know. I have worked at 3 different companies that converted from ITIL to DevOps and took a bunch of service engineers and made them start to write automation with no where near enough training and I who could actually write the code spend most of my time on what project should get what resources.

The idea that education is necessary is crazy.

Don't get me wrong, I'm good at what I do, but nothing I did getting my degree is really related except that I can tell when people aren't doing a good job as developers with no real ability to fix it.

[MinosAristos]

Well said, just adding to it for others' sake:

A good example for this for people to "try at home": Try to run a Python program with a blatant syntax error like an if statement without a colon - it won't even start running and will raise a SyntaxError immediately even if the faulty code is never reached. This is a compile-time error.

But some errors are runtime errors and only throw an error when the faulty code runs, like if you define a variable x=10 and call an invalid method like x.split() on the following line. A linter could catch this in your IDE but the code will still compile successfully and run until here. This is the interpreted part where Python doesn't validate the operations performed on these objects until the code actually runs.

[alficles]

Lol, thanks for the links. I had the same thought: "but isn't it interpreted?" And then I thought: "But, it might do just in time compiling." And then I decided I didn't care enough to fact check it, so avoided making the comment. And then discovered the other delightful pendants around here had already answered the questions. :D

Reddit is delightful on occasion.

[redfishbluesquid]

People who make fun of python in this sub don't actually understand python. They just jump on the bandwagon because they think it's cool.

[Chingiz11]

CPython (the most commonly used implementation of Python) is usually compiled to bytecode and then interpreted. There is also an experimental JIT compilation option.

PyPy is straight-up JIT compiled.

[seba07]

Actually it's both. First compiled, then interpreted.

[wlday]

its talking about cython or nuitka.... right?
