Python Programming Essentials - M29 - Python Interpreter and Files
The document discusses the Python interpreter and how it executes Python code. It explains that the Python interpreter consists of a bytecode compiler that converts human-readable Python code into machine-readable bytecode. It then uses a virtual machine to execute the bytecode. The interpreter can run code interactively to test it immediately or compile Python files (.py) into bytecode files (.pyc) for faster execution the next time the program is run.

The slide introduces Skillbrew and Python Programming Essentials, presented by Pavan Verma from P3 InfoTech Solutions.
Describes the Python interpreter as a program that executes Python instructions and allows interactive testing.
Demonstrates using the Python interpreter interactively to test expressions and statements instantly.
.pyc files are compiled Python files that enhance execution speed by avoiding recompilation when re-running.
Explains the structure of Python interpreter consisting of a bytecode compiler and a virtual machine.
Details the role of the bytecode compiler in converting human-readable Python to machine-readable bytecode.
Discusses how the virtual machine executes Python bytecode instructions.
Lists external resources for further reading on Python interpreter components.

Python interpreter can be used interactively to test out instructions on the fly. A good way to try little experiments. 2

Once a file is compiled, Python executes the compiled file. .pyc files are created when the .py file’s modification time is different. It’s good to keep .pyc files around, speeds up execution when a program is ran again by avoiding compilation. Python File *.py Bytecode *.pyc Interpreter uses *.pyc file 4
