As others have said, Python is an interpreted language, not a compiled language like C.
That's nonsense. Who says Python *has* to be interpreted? Who says C *has* to be compiled? Python, like C, each is a language (with a more or less large standard library behind it).. I have yet to see a language that cannot be compiled - it most likely would be some esoteric one.
I guess in principle it *might* be possible to make a python ahead-of-time compiler, or even a generally-usable python JIT (existing JITs only work in special cases), but so far all attempts to do so have failed. Python is just too dynamic a language for this to be feasible. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
