    Python is a multi-paradigm programming language. Object-oriented programming and structured programming are fully supported, and many of their features support functional programming and aspect-oriented programming (including metaprogramming [70] and metaobjects). [71] Many other paradigms are supported via extensions, including design by ...

  8. Interpreter (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interpreter_(computing)

    A cross compiler can generate binary code for the user machine even if it has a different processor than the machine where the code is compiled. An interpreted program can be distributed as source code. It needs to be translated in each final machine, which takes more time but makes the program distribution independent of the machine's ...

  9. Compiled language - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compiled_language

    A compiled language is a programming language for which source code is typically compiled; not interpreted. The term is vague since, in principle, any language can be compiled or interpreted and in practice some languages are both (in different environments). [1] In some environments, source code is first compiled (to an intermediate form ...
