Hi List.
All of you are right. It is similar to java, vb, but how it work?

Well, python script generates a compiled bytecode the first time that 
yuou run the main script in a machinne, and the interpreter execute this 
byte code.

It could be slower than a compiled language, because use an interpreter 
to run, but it is faster than a interepreted language, because the 
interpreted language ot generated a byt code, this one reads the secripts.

About operating system, it coulbe posible, but not at all. First to run 
an operative systems you need a low level language, like assembler, it 
could began the os, but the kernel could be in python.
just a c library or gcc and python interpreter. if you use assembler to 
run with c, u can use python for your python os
