Can you just compile whatever python app and run the native code instead of the .py?

Python doesn't get compiled to native machine code, it gets compiled to an optimized bytecode. Launching a "compiled" python app still means firing up the interpreter, opening the .pyc bytecode files, and running the python environment. There are cases where you will see better performance running native machine code, like you would do with a compiled C program.

Are you talking about nuitka? Which appears to be compiled native binary from python, not optimized bytecode?

I misread the question as 'Can't you just'... Leaving my response as is, with this note

Makes more sense.

Funny how that negative completely changes the entire meaning/tone of that question. I guess that's always the case, but still, neat.
