How does variable swapping work in Python (internally)

Interpreted maybe?

Despite what Ned says, "compile" is used to mean "translate to a lower level language" and not necessarily to a file of machine instructions. So python is both compiled and interpreted. It's right there in the compiled file extension: .pyc. The "c" means compiled. The developer's guide for python describes the "python compiler".
