::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.P.S: See [[wp:Interpreter (computing)|this]] description of an interpreter. Especially points two and three which state (an interpreter) "translates source code into some efficient intermediate representation (code) and immediately executes this" (or) "explicitly executes stored precompiled code[1] made by a compiler which is part of the interpreter system". --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 09:49, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
