A Python Interpreter is a dynamic interpreter that interprets Python code.
- Context:
- It can (typically) include built-in modules for performing tasks like file I/O, networking, and data manipulation.
- It can (typically) execute Python scripts by interpreting the code line by line at runtime.
- It can be invoked in an interactive mode via the Python Shell.
- ...
- Example(s):
- Python 2.x Interpreters, such as:
- Python 3.x Interpreters, such as:
- Python v3.11.5 (~2023-08-24).
- Python MacOS Interpreter, such as: ...
- CPython interpreters, the standard and most widely used implementation of the Python interpreter.
- PyPy interpreters, an alternative implementation of Python known for its speed improvements over CPython.
- ...
- Counter-Example(s):
- See: Python Shell, CPython, PyPy, Jython
