Yes i'm probably confusing things ; i've not explore Python
implentation, i'm just an amateur developer.
But what confuse me, is that Python require "real live" interpratation
of the code to work properly (or perhaps i also confuse on that but
Python rely on interpretation of the code to conform to its own
standard, ie variables can change type during execution...)
