Translation and executable

Translation and executable

In Python, translation and execution are handled by the interpreter. When you write Python code, you write it in a high-level format that is easy for humans to read and understand. This code is often referred to as the “source code.”

When you run your Python code, the interpreter translates the source code into a lower-level format called bytecode. Bytecode is a set of instructions that are designed to be executed by a Python virtual machine (PVM), which is implemented in hardware or software depending on the platform.

The bytecode is then executed by the PVM, which produces the final output of the program. The PVM is responsible for managing the execution of the program, including managing memory, handling exceptions, and interacting with the operating system.

Python does not generate a standalone executable file that can be run directly on the target system. Instead, Python programs are typically distributed in their source code form or as platform-specific binary distributions that include the Python interpreter and any required dependencies.

Overall, Python’s approach to translation and execution is designed to make it easy to write and test code, and to ensure that Python code is portable across different platforms and environments.
