Python Interpreter/Compiler (v3) for Windows 3.0 Beta 2  beta

Publisher's Description:

Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language often compared to Tcl, Perl, Scheme or Java. It features modules, classes, exceptions, very high level dynamic data types, and dynamic typing. There are interfaces to many system calls and libraries, as well as to various windowing systems (X11, Motif, Tk, Mac, MFC). New built-in modules are easily written in C or C++. Python is also usable as an extension language for applications that need a programmable interface. The Python implementation is portable: it runs on many brands of UNIX, on Windows, OS/2, Mac, Amiga, and many other platforms.

Nope. Interpret executes directly the source. Compiler generates a target program that can be executed. You can Interpret a source to see if it works like desired, then compile if happy with it and share that Target Program with the wild. Advantage, no one can steal your source (somtimes).

I'm confused - I've not yet tried it, but surely it's a interpreter OR a compiler - aren't the too mutually exclusive? (Yes before everyone tells me, I know Java and .net "compile" to byte code).... Mike
