This is not quite right since they both compile to bytecode and execute in a virtual machine
shell scripting is, probably, the very rare example of "interpreted"
- malvosenior 7y agoPython can be compiled to bytecode, but that's not the default or standard.
- falcolas 7y agoIt occurs with every execution, if you don’t pre-compile it. That’s what the .pyc files are. It also does it with the “main” file, but it just keeps that in memory instead of writing it to disk.
