Consider that Python ports built under some CPython (ie Python from python dot org) almost always include interpreter bytecode in the resulting package, at least currently. For long, obscure but practical reasons that are beyond the scope of this discussion, bytecode compiled from the same source during one run is never bit-for-bit identical to another run, but are otherwise functionally identical. This is true for some other interpreted languages and runtimes that involve bytecode.
