How to translate python into C

[Johnny Lee]

Hi,
   First, I want to know whether the python interpreter translate the
code directly into machine code, or translate it into C then into
machine code?
   Second, if the codes are translated directly into machine codes, how
can I translate the codes into C COMPLETELY the same? if the codes are
translated first into C, where can I get the C source?
   Thanks for your help.

Regards, 
Johnny
