What I know about an interpreter and a compiler is: they both convert source
code to machine code and the only difference is, an interpreter convert it,
line by line while compiler convert the whole source file.
Now if we compile a C source file on C compiler, it will produce a small
executable file. But if we compile (freeze) a Python source file on Python
interpreter (using cx_freeze), it will produce a big executable file.
Now the thing is C compiler does not embed a C compiler inside our program,
while the Python interpreter (cx_freeze, pytoexe) embed Python interpreter
inside our program, what is the reason?
The question is, why cx_freeze etc... embed Python interpreter inside our
programs, they are unable to produce machine code like C compiler do?
Cant we program a language, which is both interpreted and compiled? The core
developer cant add the compiling functionality to Python?
