We are introducing a new forum to Dream.in.Code, specifically for our growing Python community! We hope the Python Advanced Discussion forum provides a new home for our Python developers to have advanced and topical discussions on the language and associated technologies.

The Python Advanced Discussion forum is located here.

Yess-sss-ss... come to the advanced Python disss-ss-cussion!

[Martyr2]

Wow really? Considering there wasn't enough really going on in the general Python forum I didn't think we had the support for the advanced one. Example, one reply today and two yesterday.

I hope there is more interest in the advanced section.

The python section has indeed grown in a large way, especially considering that not too long ago, it was paired with Perl and not getting many hits at all. Now, it's a rapidly growing forum that invited a whole lot of new people.

this language is really cool and easy because its a 5th generation language but the compiler is not good and i don't like it ..(it my personal point of view and you may like it. but i really don't)

i thought python was an interpreted language.

Using the official Python implementation, source files are compiled into bytecode when a python file is first loaded and that bytecode is then executed.

[darek9576]

So is Python interpreted or compiled. I am confused.

[sepp2k]

That really depends on how you define those terms. Python source code is not directly interpreted (by the official Python implementation), but the byte code is. And of course different implementations handle this differently.

i don't really know how the compiler works but if you have an error in the code you will be searching by your self all the code to find the error's..
