Wow, this is pretty misleading. Java is, indeed, compiled to bytecode; however, modern JVMs typically compile the bytecode to native code and then execute the native code. CPython strictly interprets bytecode; it does not compile the bytecode to native code. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
