OK right. For my part, i differenciate a strict compilation (ie. C) from a translation into byte-code (ie. Python). From design there was differences as Python was an interpreted language, not a compiled (AOT). But as there was only one word, let do with it ;-) Of course in real language world there was many situation and all kind of combinaison : strict interpretation, byte-code compilation, JIT compilation, AOT compilation... So yes Python compile (bytecode). -- Pierre-Alain Dorange Moof <http://clarus.chez-alice.fr/> Ce message est sous licence Creative Commons "by-nc-sa-2.0" <http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.0/fr/> -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
