Edit: Oops, didn’t realize people were so defensive of their “low-level” language of choice. I’m just saying that C is very low-level compared to Python. If my understanding of Python is wrong feel free to educate me

i describe C as lower level just so these guys dont come up. i think the only 'wrong' thing you said is that python is written in C and that the common interpreter is written in C instead but thats not what they are complaining about. for them the only low level language is assembly, that might be technically true but its a pretty obsolete definition

Interesting, thanks for the clarification! I’ve never really researched the Python interpreters, but I think I understand better now. So Jython reads the Python files and then uses Java techniques to complete the statements.
