Hi,
I'm thinking of learning python, and am a little confused as to the
overall structure of python programming.
Would I be right in saying that Python is an interpreted language?
I know it can be run as an interpreted language, however I seem to
remember people talking about python compilers.
Do Python compilers exist? are they efficient?
If there is a python compiler, surely it would be able to generate code
that is as efficient as a C compiler, resulting in what would be the
best available OO language? (having simplicity, speed)
What is the performance of python like compared to other languages such
as C and java?
thanks in advance,
Rob
