Python Byte code:<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

• Byte code of Python is generated after compiling a python program.<\/li>\n
• Python Byte code goes through two stages.\n
  \n
  • It compiles the code into .pyc files that is actually a bytecode. This .pyc file (bytecode) is interpreted by using CPython interpreter.<\/li>\n
  • Its use for fast execution.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Python is a dynamic language, and running it from the command line basically triggers the given steps<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      • The source is compiled first time it is encountered e.g., imported as a module or directly executed. This step generates a binary file, with a .pyc or .pyo extension depending on the system.<\/li>\n
      • The interpreter reads the binary file and executes the opcodes one at a time.<\/li>\n
      • The python interpreter is stack-based and once source is compiled corresponding .pyc is ready in the matching directory (in case of python 2.x). With python 3.x a new __pycache__ directory is produced for the source and all compiled Bytecode files are located underneath.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        \n
        • Save the file as ‘MyProgram.py’. This ‘MyProgram.py’ is source code. Now if you compile this file you would get a file with ‘.pyc’ extention which is known as byte code.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
