The main issue is that python has dynamic typing. The type of object
that is referenced by a particular name can vary, and there's no way
(in general) to know at compile time what the type of object foo is.
That makes generating object code to manipulate foo very difficult.
Could you help

Could you help me understand this better? For example, if you
have this line in the Python program:
foo = 'some text'
bar = {'apple':'fruit'}
If the interpreter can determine at runtime that foo is a string
and bar is a dict, why can't the compiler figure that

Hello,
I'm using Python for a while now and I love it. There is just one thing I
cannot understand. There are compilers for languages like C and C++. why is it
impossible to create a compiler that can compile Python code to machinecode?
My reasoning is as follows:
When GCC compiles a program
Python is an interpreted language, not a compiled language. This is
actually a good thing! What it means is that there is a scripting engine
(we just call it the interpreter) that actually executes everything for
you. That means that any operating system that has an interpreter written
for it is

there are also a couple of projects that do
dynamic runtime compilation, most notably PyPy and Numba.
Oh, and HotPy, I keep forgetting about that.
You may want to take a look at the Python implementations page,
specifically the list of Python compilers:

Not exactly what you describe, but have you checked out PyPy?

The subject line is wrong. There are multiple compilers. Someone just
listed some of them today in another post.

A language is just a language. Implementations are implementations*.

Actually, *languages* are neither interpreted nor compiled. A language is
an abstract description of behaviour and syntax. Whether something is
interpreted or compiled or a
