For the most part, python is not a compiled language - it is an
interpreted language, much like perl or tcl.  One of the neat things
about python is that when it does the byte-compile of the scripts, it
leaves the byte compiled version around (permissions pending) so that if
the source file doesn't have to change, it won't have to recompile the
script.
