- jodrellblank 10y agoThey are binary files, but they aren't "compiled binaries in the same way that C is compiled", they are intermediate Python byte-code files and they still need the CPython runtime to interpret them.
- joshuamorton 10y agoAs the other user mentioned, those are compiled in the same way java is compiled, but not in the same way that C is compiled. They still need an intermediate VM to run.
