Re: interpreter vs. compiled

instructions (bytecode) of the virtual machine are generally more high-level than real machine instructions, and the semantics of the bytecode are implemented by the interpreter, usually in a sort-of high level language like C. This means the interpreter can run without detailed knowledge of the machine as long as a C compiler exists. However, the trade off is that the interpreter semantics are not optimized for that machine. This all gets a little more hairy when you start talking about JITs, runtime optimizations, and the like. For a real in-depth look at the general topic of interpretation and virtual machines, I'd recommend Virtual Machines by Smith and Nair (ISBN:1-55860910-5). -Dan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
