Ho yes ??? Why so, please ? Care to point to anything *wrong* in the above statement ? > Java is, indeed, compiled to bytecode; however, modern JVMs typically > compile the bytecode to native code and then execute the native code. Which is known as JIT compilation - and there are a couple attempts at it in Python too. Anyway, the JIT compiler is not part of the Java spec (while the byte-code/VM is), and its not garanteed to be there on each an every Java VM. > CPython strictly interprets bytecode; And ? > it does not compile the > bytecode to native code. And ? I fail to see how the existence of JIT compilers in some Java VM changes anything to the fact that both Java (by language specification) and CPython use the byte-code/VM scheme. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
