you sure have a lot of doubts.

the CPython implementation of Python runs on a virtual machine (similar to Java),
and the compilation process converts your code to instructions for that machine
(so-called bytecodes).

Python never "interprets" your code; it's always compiled to bytecode before being
executed (this also applies to the interactive promt, which compiles each statement
before running it).
