:: I was asking specifically so that the language could be categorized. It's ''primarily'' bytecoded, and it doesn't have the poor performance of a purely interpreted language. (FWIW, I believe Tcl's the same in this regard; mainly bytecoded with the potential to go interpreted in some awkward highly dynamic cases.) And mammals are defined by having mammary glands. —[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 07:49, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
::Hi Donal, Python is ''both'' interpreted ''and'' byte coded.It doesn't have to be either-or. Whilst the internal byte code is normally stored as a file for any modules used, this is an optimisation. Python will work if they are not present. If, (but only if), your categorization of Python as being byte-coded precludes it from also being interpreted then the categorization scheme is faulty.
:: P.S. The classifiers had to drop the rule that mammals gave birth to live young when made aware of animals like the Duck-Billed Platypus --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 09:19, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
