([msg=32404]see Re: python[/msg])
Python is an interpreted scripting language, instead of compiling your code into byte code, it is read line by line and translated into machine-readable code. This is a somewhat crude definition, but it's the basic idea. There's lots of benefits to interpreted languages, and also a good amount of set-backs. Wikipedia and Google are your friend if you want more info. Questions like this are usually better solved with those sources anyway.
